Hi again, friends !:))

Janice & Bud wanted me to produce
a lp with surf music sung by
Dani and The Surf Boys ! Well, I´m
not sure I have the capacity for
a whole lp, but, I guess it is
not the target but the journey
that counts ? (Chuckle)

So, friends, here is a little
surf ballad to enjoy

My Little Surfer Love ( music and words by Norman Wibe)

We´ve been surfin´all day
ridin´the surf on the bay
out of reach

And when the day is done
we will stand watchin´the sun
on the beach,... you surely know that

Babe, I love you madly
give my heart so gladly
to you

Darlin´,moon shines above
and we´re holdin´each other in love
yes we do, ...you surely know that

Babe, I love you madly
give my heart so gladly
to you, to you

We´re so happy together
so may this last forever
may it do…..ooo

Darlin´moon shines above
and we´re holdin´each other in love
yes we do, ..you know that…..

you´re my little surfer love

Recorded with mixcraft 7 and stagg mic to my laptop !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani.

You've excelled yourself here - this is just BRILLIANT.

It's about as Beach Boys as it gets without actually being the Beach Boys.

Fabulous groove with superb voice and harmonies.

Yes, let's have the album!

maybe we need to rearrange the letters in Dani's name and add an "r" until it becomes... "Drian" ;-)

I think this one captures the signature chordal harmonies best of the bunch so far!

Dani,

Very nice Surf ballad! The harmony is excellent. It is as if the real BB were singing! I would like to listen to a song like "I get around" which is my most favorite song of theirs if I can request another one.
