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!

Hi Dani,
thanks for being able to take part in your journey.
In this one you again perfectly caught the Beach Boys mood.
I enjoyed the harmonies a lot.

Nicely done Brian - I mean Dani. 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.
