I may be the first one to record a song using the new BIB Surf Style. I was inspired by watching the Mavericks competition, and loaded the song with all the surf lingo it would stand. I listened to the great 60's surf instrumentals for inspiration, particularly Apache and Pipeline. I noticed that there is a fine line between Apache and the spaghetti western themes of Georgio Moroder. Overdubs are a couple of surf guitars and percussion. Lead vocal was done on a Panasonic tape recorder mic from the 1960's, heavily compressed through a Boss CS-3. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/surfing-my-life-awaySurfing my Life Away CFG(4) CAmFGC (2) intro CF Well I ain't no titan, just an average Joe CG when the swell is rising I got to go CAm Take my big gun out and put on a show FGC surfing my life away CF I get around, yeh I've seen it all CG inside the barrel, over the falls, CAm I'll be there when the ocean calls FGC surfing my life away Am I've seen all the breaks around the world CG I've got my woodie and my surfer girl EmDm I got no dough, but even so FG I always find a way FDm Hanging five I come alive CG when you're crankin you hear no jive CAm The noise all stops when you make that drop FGC Surfing my life away CFCG CAmFCG solo CFG(4) CF I'm a junkyard dog on dawn patrol CG when the grems get worked, I'm in control CAm I was ten when I sold my soul FGC surfing my life away CF I'm still a barney on dry land CG it never breaks the way I planned CAm give me a set I can understand FGC surfing my life away CAmFGC(2) CF a cleanup set is all I need CG the ocean's mine, the waves are free CAm that'll be enough for me FGC surfing my life away CFG(4) ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Surfing my Life Away File:surf.SGU Key=C , Tempo 140, Length (m:s)=3:59 16 bar intro, 121 bar chorus, from bar 17 to bar 137.

Cool stuff Will!! I particularly liked these lyrics:
CF I'm still a barney on dry land
CG it never breaks the way I planned
CAm give me a set I can understand
FGC surfing my life away
You had a little of the "Surfer Joe" vibe in this one. I grew up about 15 miles from Mavericks. Interestingly, I never heard of it until the 90's. It cannot be viewed from the coast highway-it's behind a large hill. I did a lot of body surfing/body boarding at the adjacent beach (where the waves are quite small but often tasty). Good stuff!! Take care. Greg

Nice job Will. This made me think back to the 60's beach music and movies of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon..

Take care. Greg I had forgotten about Surfer Joe, though the Joe mentioned in this song is a real surfer. I was at Mavericks last month, and watched the entire competition last week. I heard phrases like "barrel" and "over the falls" that inspired this song, assisted by a Google search for "surfing terms". It pretty much has every lyric and musical surfing cliche included. The guitar overdubs were played through my new Vox Valvetronix VT20X, a great new emulation amp with tubes.

"a cleanup set is all I need
he ocean's mine, the waves are free
that'll be enough for me
surfing my life away"
That's a great summation of the times.
You nailed the vibe. I listened to a ton of that
music in high school -- early sixties. Even did
a little surfing -- and on the Gulf it was a little
surfing for sure.
Lot of memories listening to this. Thank you
for them. Cool period song!!

Hello, Will
Beach Boys, Chantys, Surfaris, Ventures, Astronauts, tube Amp, spring reverb and tremolo gliss.
Oldies but Goodies. It’s much fun. I remember my childfood. Above Groupes are famous also in Japan.
Enjoyed the listen!

Hi Will, to this day I have not taken a surf board and hit the waves but I have done a lot of it in my mind. I grew up listening to the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean and the rest of the surfing music during the 60's. I'm glad that BIAB came out with this style and I am working on a song myself. You did a great job of capturing that sound (Pipeline) in the intro and your vocals and lyrics put me back to that time. I enjoyed what you did.
Sonny

This is totally gnarly brohemus. I'm gonna go grab my board shorts and meet you at Barney's Beanery man! I tell you brohescapade, this reminds me of college when my friends Jeff and Barry and me went surfing in a hurricane at Wrightville Beach and I cracked my long board when we landed on the rocks man. I tell you, there was ABSOLUTELY NO BEER INVOLVED. No way man.
Awesome tune!!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
