Well along with our special feature of this Beach Boys' Christmas Album. once again I'm happy to see the smiling face of the leader of. this popular group here in the studio Brian Wilson.. Good to see you again Brian.. Hi Jack.. This Beach Boys' Christmas Album is really something.. Ah Dick Reynolds did the arrangements I guess huh?. Yes he did. He did a beautiful job a wonderful job.. Is this the first time you've worked with him?. Right. I'd been uh wanting to meet him and work with him for quite a long time.. Now who's idea was it to have you featured on this uh one particular tune--I. I was particularly impressed with it--"A Blue Christmas.". Well I... sort of picked out that song to sing for myself.. I I love the song and uh I've always wanted to sing it so I thought I'd sing it.. Well maybe this will be the start of a whole new career huh?. I don't know that's... It it could and it couldn't. Ah... I really don't know.. Well let's leave it to the listeners to see what they think of it.. Right.. I notice this album has uh ah along with some of the popular things like uh. "I'll Be Home For Christmas" uh "Auld Lang Syne" and uh um "We Three Kings". and some of the traditional things that you have a couple of your. your own uh Beach Boys type sounds in the LP too.. Uh-huh we've more or less made one side uh our own style and.... Kind of a teen side and an adult side.. Uh-huh right um-hm. Contrasting.. Uh-huh. Now we have uh one of your originals coming up here Brian.. Uh "Christmas Day." You wrote this for the album specifically?. Yes I did. Uh-huh.. Uh-huh. And now do you do your the vocal arrangements. or did Dick Reynolds handle all of that?. Dick handled the vocal arrangements on the ah the modern side. --the traditional side--and I did the ah vocal and the. arrangements of the music on our own style--our basic style--side.. Dick did the strings also on the uh on the modern side.. Coming up now ah a very sentimental type Christmas song. particularly for those who are away from home during this time of year. --"I'll Be Home For Christmas." Any ah thing particular about this. this tune that you'd like to say Brian?. Ah well I guess there's something very obvious when you hear the song.. It's ah there's a very definite influence of the Four Freshmen. on the arrangement as well as the delivery and uh obviously. we all look up and admire the style of the Four Freshmen and. uh I feel this has been the greatest--one of the greater--. vocal influences ah in the world today.. Well it's certainly been uh nice of you to take the time to come. by again here for our special Beach Boys' Christmas show.. You have a fine album here and uh I hope you'll be home for Christmas.. Well I hope I will too. I hope everyone's home for Christmas.. I do too. Brian Wilson thanks again for coming by.. Thank you very much Jack.. And here again the Beach Boys' Christmas Album..
