Brian Wilson
Born:
Brain Wilson is one of rock's most deeply revered figures, a legendary writer, producer, arranger and performer of some of the most cherished music in rock history.

As luck would have it, the Wilsons' parents were vacationing and had left the boys $250 for food money

Brad Mehldau Trio: Seymour Reads The Constitution!
by Doug Collette
The track listing of Seymour Reads The Constitution! is ultimately as deceptive as the album's title (not to mention its cryptic cover image).
