Uncle Bill was an early Beach Boys fan. Perhaps this led an impressionable young me to grow up to also be an unapologetic Beach Boys fan. Nevertheless, my subconscious has always connected the two — 1960s Beach Boys and 1960s Uncle Bill.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, I read the sad news that the Brian Wilson had passed away. He, of course, was the artist behind the Beach Boy sound — those beautiful, dreamy, positive, melodic vocal harmonies.<\/p>\n

RIP Brian Wilson. Thank you for your gift to us. And goodbye, again, Uncle Bill.<\/p>\n
