I was just going back to the "Smile" album (2004) and listening to it once again. They did that with the Wondermints guys and Darian Sahanaja and Jeff Foskett - all these guys I used to know.
It was such a lovely gift that they surrounded (Brian), when he could still do that, and finished that with him. The result is fantastic.
All of those guys were so fantastic. And they just made it their pilgrimage to be Team Brian, and be around him, for finishing kind of his life work - his genius opus that was "Smile."
I texted some of those guys and was like, 'Thank you for doing that - for Brian.' It was just a wond.
