I'll take a look again and see if I can find a video that doesn't have audio problems. I'll check out your version, too. Thanks for the comment, Linda.

In fact, I have not only performed The Beach, but recorded it as Oscar did - using his arrangement - interspersed in his lyrical version of Monk's 'Round Midnight - all about aging and time. There is also a version of OBJ doing The Beach that was fairly clear, I thought.
