Two very fine, but different composers. This is a really fine listen!

Very Neat!,
It certainly has a "Beach Boy" sound... I like it!

A little side story... several weeks ago Mitch Miller, a band leader from the 50's and 60's died at the age of 99. I remember he had a show on tv that my parents would watch occasionally. There was a mention of him being an excellent oboist and playing in a band led by Gershwin. Miller said he was fairly soft spoken and easy to work with. How many other people are out there that have direct involvement with Gershwin or some other musical legend ( almost like a myth ) like that ??? Not many. Thats why I would love to see Oprah or somebody get Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, the Everly Bros. and others together in one place to relive and tell stories about what rock music was like in the early days in the 1950's - before they pass away. How about these actresses still alive like Olivia deHavilland who starred in Robin Hood from 1938 and Gone With the Wind (1939). She's in her 90's along with her sister who's name escapes me, also a famous actress. Maureen O' Hara who's about 90 and just a couple of others - Mickey Rooney- a child actor from the 30's. These to me are interesting people - not these twits of today like Lindsay Lohan, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, etc. etc. etc. THEY ARE OVERPAID BOORS !!!!

No - - thought about it though. :wink:

I'll leave the samples up until tonight, in case anyone is interested.
