Come about hard

Brian Wilson was on Larry King just now. It turns out his cellist is missing in Phuket, Thailand. Markus Sandlund, the Swedish cellist from the Stockholm Strings and Horns that plays on the new SMiLE CD - the same cellist that's featured so prominently on "Good Vibrations," the track I listened to as I welcomed the new year - was swept away as he relaxed poolside with his girlfriend.

Brian's got it up on his website [http://www.brianwilson.com/news/index.html] now. Both Brian and Larry were having a rough time figuring out which tense to use when talking about him. They naturally said "was" but tried hard to remember to say "is."

Brian's looking really good, though. I can imagine something like this weighs pretty heavy on him. He was the one who was afraid of the water.

Brian's confirmed to appear on NBC's tsunami relief telethon on Saturday, January 15.
