I was just sitting here listening, think "Wow, the Beach Boys could have taken this to the top of the charts for about 12 or 15 weeks...and then I heard the "Help me Rhonda" line! So, I guess you got this to come across exactly as you had intended. It sure sounded like Beach Boys to me from ther begininng. Also, great chord pattern!

I loved it!

Now that's humbling...thanks Al. I'm really glad you like this.

I actually wasn't thinking Beach Boys while writing or recording this...but way back when, at one live gig I suddenly tossed in that line "Help me Rhonda" and it got a big laugh...just seemed so incongruous. But now I guess I do hear some similarities to the more rocking Beach Boys tunes. One of my favorite songs in the world is one of their less-played hits, "Do It Again"...and also "How Deep Is The Ocean". I guess I did listen to a lot of Beach Boys.

Fun to think about, and amazing to get such a nice response. Thanks again, Al!
