I'm going to record the vocals as part of my SMiLE cover soon, but I'm so happy with how the backing track turned out that I had to post it (plus it was instrumental for almost 40 years, so I'll give myself a pass). I'll probably make a few changes to the final product as I live with this version for a while, but I just think it sounds darn neat. That's me on everything--electric guitar, keyboards (piano, harpsichord, glockenspiel), fretless bass, fender bass, drums, muted trumpet, clarinet, french horn (which, by the magic of modern technology, doubles as a tuba), flute, tambourine, and sleigh bells. Let me know what you think!
