I've always assumed that the gent second from the left (with white/pale coat) is album producer #JackNitzsche

Sure enough, they'll be selling you stuff
For when the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes

Some readers may know the song via the version from Rod Stewart which was a big UK hit for him in '77

Thirty-four years later, I still talk, probably way too often, about the hour I spent with one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson, at the Crescent for the Dallas Times Herald.

"Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me. He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I’m Bob Dylan.'"

If you have some time today, go down the rabbit hole and learn about the making of “Good Vibrations.” Learn about the Wrecking Crew, learn about tape splicing, learn about how crazy Brian drove the rest of the band trying to create the perfect song. And then listen to the perfect song.

20 years ago we used to do a T-shirt that just said “God Bless Brian Wilson” in the Pet Sounds font and one day we got an email from Brian’s guitar player asking to buy them for the band. Obviously we just sent them to him. He sent us back a lovely letter and this. Treasure.

It's not specifically a Cornish thing - and I should know having been brought up in Newquay - but it's something you often get warned about if you go there

Nice one - it's that good old '50's chord sequence but utilised well
