Introducing the beach boys to the Beach Boys, and other cultural phenomena

Keith and I are just back from a fantastic trip to Goa. I promise I'll put up a decent post when the photos are downloaded. It is to some extent"India lite" there but its an incredibly vibrant place and the people there are amazing, just so relaxed and carefree. There were a lot of highlights, among the the musical ones were:

- having the guys who sorted out our sunbeds on Candolim beach listen to Good Vibrations on my MP3 player and them really getting into it, and me realising what brilliant ocean-side music Brian Wilson wrote all those years ago.

- sitting outside a bar listening to a Reggae band made up of locals, three young guys doing a very decent job on lead rhythm and bass guitars and an older guy playing terrific tabla drums.

Don't worry bout a thing, cos every little things gonna be all right.

Too right!
