I am very glad you liked my little summer tune ! I´ve always loved the BB:s and I even wrote Brian a tribute once back in time !:))
Cheers Dani
If you're a BB fan, Daniel, you might be interested to know that they hardly ever actually played on any of their records. That was done by some session musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew". Regards, Bob

Hi, Rog !
Thanks for your kind comments ! You know, Rog ! The BB:s and maybe even more Brian Wilson and his band are doing a come back (they already did), but Brian is working on another solo album this moment ! I hold the opinion that good music will always stay on somehow, even if the taste of the generations alter as a whole ?:)
Cheers Dani
PS: and we grayhaired dinosaurs.....we are quite many still, aren´t we ??? (LOL)

Yes, Bob, I know, but you know, I have always been most fascinated by Brian Wilson´s music, may it be performed by anyone. Nowadays he uses quite a big and good backing group that really can do justice to his compositions !:))
Cheers Dani

Dani - whoa!! Everyone is raving about those great harmonies but do you explain how you did it? Is that all you, TC Helicon or similar software, other human singers?
Whatever it is, että on niin hyvä!!

My dear Aleck !
Thank you for your most kind comments ! Yes, it is all me. I started by singing the lead twice and panned them on both sides. Then I sung the different harmony tracks, starting by second and third voices and added one to two falsettos !
All voices are improvised, which is not so good as if I had learned them and then sung them. You can clearly hear that I am searching for the voice especially in the parts that starts with " in a long long time".... There are 4 voices there and my old brains has difficulty recalling which one I should sing !!! (LOL) I am using the microphones on my zoom H4n and sing thru them directly on different tracks in mixcraft (mixing program) !
I am very glad you felt it was "hyvä" !(LOL)
Cheers Dani

Hi, Gruverider !
I am very glad you like this little summer tune of mine !:) I grew up with those wonderful harmonies riging in my ears: The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, The Hi-Lo´s, The 4 Freshmen, The Singers Unlimited, Manhattan Transfer etc etc etc. Not to mention those superb choirs as Norman Luboff Choir, Johnny Mann Singers, Ray Conniff, Anita Kerr Singers etc etc etc. My friend, these harmonies are a part of me (LOL) !
Cheers Dani

Hi Dani.
Glad you liked it. All credit to Eddie, though for writing the track in the first place. We only start work when he finishes the song.

Dani, I am late to the party but I’m glad I came!
It’s all been said! I liked the style and the BB style harmonies. I was thinking this fits more in those Annette and Frankie’s Beach Party movies than anything else.
Regardless this is one fantastic uplifting excellently composed and sang song!
