WELCOME TO OPEN SKY
The latest issue of Open Sky,
the seventh, is now printed and
ready to ship. It includes
an amazing interview with Peter Reum, in which he analyzes Smile in an
incredibly detailed and spiritually sensitive way. He also deals in great
depth with Brian's humor, his love of Rhapsody In Blue, and his giftedness,
as well as other areas. This is a great interview
and comprises more than half
of this issue.
Also included is an interview
with Margo Guryan, whose 1968 pop classic LP Take A Picture is being
rediscovered for the great
music that most of us missed when it came out. Margo's early writing was
jazz influenced, until she heard "God Only Knows" and began writing in
the pop idiom. You can get the CD at
FranklinCastle.com. An essay
by Bill Tobelman, (proprietor of the Zen Interpretation of Brian Wilson's
and Van Dyke Parks' Smile website) is included, in which Bill suggests
that a profound religious experience influenced the writing of Smile.
And to keep the ship floating
properly, we've also reprinted Jon Hunt's
great essay on why he loves
Brian's new record - Gettin' In Over My Head. Jon helps run the Smile Shop
in his spare time. The issue features the artwork of Chloe Cumming and
a new drawing by Frank Holmes. There is also an announcement of the next
Open Sky, which will be a DVD. Check out the new issue
for details.
