Luyện nghe bài hát Brian Wilson Christmas Interview

Well, along with our special feature of this Beach Boys' Album,
once again I'm happy to see the smiling of the leader of
this group here in the studio, Brian Wilson.
to see you again, Brian.

Hi, Jack.

This Beach Christmas Album is really something.
Ah, Reynolds did the arrangements, I guess, huh?

Yes, he did. He did a beautiful job, a job.

Is this the first time you've with him?

Right. I'd been, uh, wanting to meet him and work with him for a long time.

Now who's idea was it to have you featured on this, uh, one tune--I,
I was impressed with it--"A Blue Christmas."

Well, I... sort of picked out that to sing for myself.
I, I love the song and uh, always wanted to sing it, so I thought I'd sing it.

Well, maybe 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 know.

Well, let's leave it to the listeners to see they think of it.

Right.

I notice this album has uh, ah, with some of the popular things like, uh,
"I'll Be Home For Christmas," uh, "Auld Syne," and uh, um, "We Three Kings"
and some of the things, that you have a couple of your,
your own, uh, Boys type sounds in the LP, too.

Uh-huh, we've more or less one side, uh, our own style, and...

Kind of a teen and an adult side.

Uh-huh, right, um-hm. Contrasting.

Uh-huh. Now, we have, uh, one of your originals up here, Brian.
Uh, "Christmas Day." You wrote this for the album

Yes, I did. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. And now, do you do your, the arrangements,
or did Dick Reynolds handle all of

Dick handled the arrangements on the, ah, the modern side
--the traditional side--and I did the, ah, and the
arrangements of the music on our own style--our style--side.
Dick did the strings, also, on the, uh, on the side.

up now, ah, a very sentimental type Christmas song,
particularly for those who are away from home during time of year
--"I'll Be Home For Christmas." Any, ah, particular about this,
this tune that you'd to say, Brian?

Ah, well, I guess there's very obvious when you hear the song.
It's, ah, there's a very definite influence of the Four
on the as well as the delivery, and, uh, obviously
we all look up and admire the of the Four Freshmen and,
uh, I this has been the greatest--one of the greater--
influences, ah, in the world today.

Well, it's certainly been, uh, nice of you to take the to come
by again for our special Beach Boys' Christmas show.
You have a fine album here and, uh, I you'll be home for Christmas.

Well, I I will, too. I hope everyone's home for Christmas.

I do, too. Brian Wilson, thanks again for by.

you very much, Jack.

And here again, the Beach Boys'
