That's what I was missing Dani. One of your cool surfing tunes. Super listen on a Friday night. Super vocal and harmonies. Excellent backtrack. Mix was excellent

This mix sounds good to me. (I didn't hear the other one either). Is that you with the bass line "ooo mau maus"? Nice. The whole composition was an enjoyable listen. Was the line "Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get" a deliberate double entendre? Ha!

Hi, Floyd !:))
Thank you so much for your most kind comments really much appreciated !:))
I thought that the earlier mix did not do the tune justice, so I just had to remix it altogether !
Cheers Dani

I don't remember this one either, but I REALLY like it!! Wonderful vocals! Love the harmonies and the MOW MOW! How many octaves of range do you have? Very cool song, so well delivered. Take care. Greg

Hi, Greg !:))
I am very glad that you liked the tune and performance - thank you so much for those kind words ! I may move within 3 octaves but on this as on many other tunes I also use background oohs or aahs provided by Band In The Box ! (:.)
Cheers Dani
