'SMiLE' cellist among tsunami missing
Billboard.com ^ | Jan. 4, 2005 | Billboard

Posted on 01/04/2005 2:12:24 PM PST by JellyJam

Brian Wilson has issued a desperate plea for any information on the whereabouts of Markus Sandlund, a cellist from the Stockholm Strings & Horns who played on his recently released recreation of the lost Beach Boys album "SMiLE." Sandlund was vacationing in Thailand when the area was battered by a tsunami following a Dec. 26 earthquake in the Indian Ocean and has not been heard from since.

"I have been devastated since I heard the news that Markus is missing in Thailand," Wilson says in a statement. "We have sent an agent to see what we can find out, but as of today (Jan. 4) we have been unable to locate Marcus in the area. If there is anyone out there who might know Markus' whereabouts please contact info@brianwilson.com.

May God hold Sandlund close to Him now and keep him safe. May He guard Sandlund from harm and bring him safely home, in Jesus' name.

Sorry, I've never heard of this man or his music. Nevertheless, I'm sending up prayers for his safe return.

Of course I've heard of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

I haven't heard of Markus Sandlund, a cellist from the Stockholm Strings & Horns who played on his recently released recreation of the lost Beach Boys album "SMiLE."

My son probably has but his favorite group is G-2?? Not sure of their name, but I like them also.

I was sure you'd catch "G-2," and correct my error. I guess you've never heard of U-2.

Imagine being on one of those remote islands knowing that your family has no idea if you're dead or alive.

The answer: Amateur radio.

How to get started!

The FUN hobby with a serious side!

Absolutely! Thanks for the info about the web site. I have been a fan of ham radio for more than 50 years.
