Hi, friends !


I must admit it is a long time I,ve been
able to post anything ! To be completely honest
with you I have, in fact, written 4-5 songs that
I just have not been able to record acceptably.

Either I have written too difficult tunes or
then my capacities to perform them have been reduced !
Either way, this has been one of the bigger issues
regarding my songwriting ! I could always resort
to my bassvoice but then there could not be much of
those nice harmonies that I love to sing. In any case
this is just a try to do another surf tune.

I thought the background needed some nice rhytmical
fills so I unpacked my fender snd played the solo and the strumming fills you can hear in the background, the rest is
Band In a Box !

SURFER´S BAY (Melody and words by Norman Wibe)


It´s five in the morn´ and I am weary and worn, but I still just have to go
a black eyed Joe devoted to surf not acceptin´ as an answer a ”no”
weather is fine and the boards are aligned on the roof of my buggy car
We´re ready to go, ready to travel away , travel so far

We´re goin´ away
to a secret place
to Surfer´s Bay
leaving no trace

Break of dawn will find us flown to the best and favourite shore
there we´ll surf the tidal waves rollin´higher more and more
nothing else can give such kicks as flyin´on the waves
we´ll remeber all these rides until layin´ in our graves
in our graves

So, please, come along !
to Surfer´s Bay
a place for a song
a place for to stay

There you´ll surely gonna find
that surfing gives you peace of mind
Surfer´s Bay will help you leave
all your troubles far behind


Break of dawn will find us flown to the best and favourite shore
there we´ll surf the tidal waves rollin´higher more and more
nothing else can give such kicks as flyin´on the waves
we´ll remeber all these rides until layin´ in our graves
in our graves

Cheers
Dani
