..and I can only imagine that, after the Hell he went through trying to complete SMiLE, Brian Wilson could only smile ruefully and shake his head when cheap digital mixing equipment came along in the early 90s. Where was this when he needed it?

E.T.A. on July 4th of either '84 or '85, I saw the Beach Boys on Miami Beach...with very special guest Ringo Starr.
