Hi, friends !  Guess it´s been all too long since I´ve visited with you ! My apologies ! It is a poor excuse that I have been so loaded with different tasks (pensioner as I am) that it has been more or less impossible to visit ! I´ve also been to Spain in between and there I do not have any means to do music other than play my acoustic guitar I bought down there ! This tune has been very long in developing not the tune in itself but the singing as my voice is not what it used to be anymore ! Here is the music: http://app.box.com/s/hiccaozx6tek0rydy5vpu9zqn4wbvdk7....and here are the instros of the combo: The Style is: M_ISLAND STY Bass: 519, Piano: 1797, Drums: Pop Calypso, Guitar 1: 1175, Guitar 2: 1177, Guitar 3: 2691 soloist, Vocal Aahs: 3063 Recorded with mixcraft 9 pro on my lenovo ideacentre laptop. Rev and comp used. The Surfers´Sphere (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)Intro: 4 * E A Em D A Darlin´join me now Bm G E on this early mornin´surf C#m A air´s so clear and sky´s so blue Bm E I´m sure it´s gonna be Bm E a ride most fine and free Darlin´got to ride those waves are there just for us to ride so high and so low come on let´s show jumpin´on the tow let´s go Bm E Bm E Bm E A Oh what a life, void of strife, nothin´compares to this Cm F Cm F Cm F D out on the ocean, surfers in motion, what a sight so bliss G so bliss C Gm F C Darlin´ sun shines bright Dm Bb G as we ride together down those waves Em C we´ve never been happier than here Dm G out on the surfers´blue Dm G just me and just you C in the surfers´sphere Dm G Dm G Dm G C Oh what a life, void of strife, nothin´compares to this Dm G Dm G Dm G C out on the ocean, surfers in motion, what a sight so bliss

Dani, you are hanging ten again!
I liked the song but for me I think it would sound a lot better without the harmonies. BUT that is just my opinion and others may or may not agree.
Everything else in this song is fine.
Why is it that the people who tell me to calm down are the ones who tick me off in the first place!

Dani, welcome back. Ah, holidays in Spain...that's the life! I really like this tune a bunch. Those modulations are super smooth and make each section as unique as each wave in the ocean. Your vocals and harmonies remind me of Neil Young, and I like them a bunch as well. Surf's UP! WAY up!

Dani! It's good to have you back!
You achieved a classic 60s sound. I love that bridge section.

Welcome back Dani, nice mix and back track. Along with Mario, there was something in the vocals that I didn't hear quite right. I don't know that the harmonies need to disappear, but the vocals sound a little loud and out front in the mix to my ears. I might just play with the volumes a bit. Nice song.

Very inviting, Dani. I think of you as one of the deepest singers ever, and this beauty soars high so well. Very cool harmony, too. Man, this is refreshingly good. Thanks for stopping back when you get a chance, and especially when you bring such cool gifts. Have fun.

I can imagine Brian writing this after retiring from the road. All that's missing, to my ears, is a low voice for the verses.
COOL
Cheers

Nice to have you and your surf tunes back Great arrangement captures the right 60's & beach mood. And those vocals and harmonies are ice cream of a hot day, amazing high register. I hope your acoustic has created more perfect summer tunes Janne

Hi, Mario !
Back for a brief stay at home from
our summer cabin ! Just able to
listen now for the wonderful compositions
everyone have produced and posted here
on the site !
Now, Mario, you were absolutely right
in your comment, there was just too much harmony
and so I took a new look at it and this is the result !
I thank you so much for having opened my
eyes to realize the mistakes on it and I
want to thank you for your most kind
words ! Thank you !
Cheers
Dani

Nice to hear those vibes again Dani! Your vocals and the cool arrangement are standout indeed. Your tunes always take Bud back to his days driving to Florida with his surfboard on top of his VW (and his bleach blond hair). Well done all the way around and wrapped in a good mix. Enjoyed it and have fun on your adventures. J&B
