A Master. seeming almost effortless,
and perfect.
I've watched those films of him in the studio with Brian Wilson many times
over the years. I'm boning up a lot of his interviews.
what a lovely man, very respectful of the artists...
it would be ez for him to crap on the Raiders and the players he 'covered' for,
and all that, but he keeps talking of the achievements of the artists he worked for....
....talking about Paul Simom; you see Hal's kindness and respect for these 'kids'....using that 'genius' word. the history here is so enormous.
his work will truly ever die.
imagine doing sessions for his friend Frank Sinatra; and Nancy...
it's really remarkable how much of his propulsive tasteful fills ,
and solid Beat, distinguish these Hits that are almost part of our DNA.
i listened to that Byrds session over and over.
most wouldn't want to and i don't even recommened it;
but tor me, it's a holy pleasure and a world of useful information.
brilliant and so downhome humble.
his stories are believable. a real precious soul this cat.
RIP
