Years ago someone I'm not friends with anymore (but happy trails, brother) turned me onto Jeffrey Foskett. I listened to I Live For The Sun, I was hooked.

Brian Wilson said Jeffrey had "one of the 5 best voices I've heard". Man was Brian right.

I loved The Beach Boys. Still do. They were my goto band (still are) when I wanted to escape, imagine myself at the beach with pretty girls. We listened to them while cruising, at parties, in the car, on dates.

I was lucky enough to see Jeffrey backing up The Beach Boys and singing falsetto on their 50th tour, just after That's Why God Made The Radio (epic record btw). He sang lead on "Don't Worry Baby", "The Warmth Of The Sun", "Wouldn't It Be Nice" as well as others.

Give a listen to Thru My Window, the best Beach Boys album they never recorded. Then imagine yourself cruising, or at the beach with pretty girls or guys.

Harmonies seem to be a thing of the past now? Gawd I hope not. The world needs harmony. Thank you Jeffrey, for harmonies.

Rest In Harmony brother,
