Sloop John B.

The Fendertones! I grew up on Beach Boys music and never got tired of it. Only recently did I discover this group of musicians who got together and worked to reproduce Brian Wilsons masterpieces. They nailed it IMO!

Wow that's a great cover!

If I am not mistaken, the cover band used a Bass Saxaphone rather than a Baritone Saxaphone; either way, the low tones jumped out as a great touch.

Thanks for sharing.

The original recording had an electric bass, a stand up bass and a Bass Saxaphone all playing the same notes. As did the Fendertones. I'll see if I can find that.

Always wanted a Bass Sax back in my gigging days. Don't know why; that thing would have been a nightmare to pack around on the road!

Haha! There's always one to one-up somebody. I'll always felt sorry for the guy with the Sousaphone.

In Sloop John B. at 2:26. Does anybody recognize the guy on the left with beard and glasses? I swear he looks familiar aside from this group. Seems like I saw him in a wood turning video. Dunno! :redface:

Any way you look at it the quality of their video could be dramatically improved if they all had shirt pockets with nice custom turned pens in them.

Oh without a doubt. One of yours maybe? :biggrin:

 

[Bill in Buena Park]

Don't feel bad for us Dale! I've never known a wimpy Sousaphone player... :wink:

 

[gtriever]
