Hey Jude! I don't think we say enough about Sly's early career as one of the
Bay Area's best indie record producers. Next time we hear the Beau Brummels'
wonderful  singles "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just a Little,"  we should raise a
toast to the man in the control booth, Sly Stewart.

I'm not willing to write Sly off. If Brian Wilson and Arthur Lee can
barnstorm the country in 2004, anything is possible!

Thanks for the post! Steve Thorn
