Terminal morbidity

I got kind of melancholic while putting together my (not worthy) Memorial Day post. I was perusing old posts trying to cheer myself up. It helped a little but it also made me even more melancholy. I got to thinking about Nick Reynolds and Brian Wilson, and others who have made me happy in the past but have now sadly passed on. So I'm just posting some cool stuff, some of which I've posted before. But they make me happy.

Sloop John B (y'all know how much I love this song):



We love you, Nick.

Another, earlier version I've never heard before:



I have no idea who Lyn Murray is, but very cool my man.

Of course, the greatest version of all time was by the Beach Boys. Unfortunately, the version embedded above has since had embedding disabled. Fascist pigs, (but hit the link, you can still see it there). Here's another embedded version with some pretty cool graphics:



Oddly enough, though, the specific Kingston Trio vid I was looking for, before veering off into "Sloop John B", was this one:



Man, I love you guys. R.I.P., Nick. You rock, man.
