Hi, friends !

I have been fighting with this
surf tune (especially to find the right
key ) but I had decided that
I´ll sing all the vocals not using
the Daniettes (read: vocal aahs)
With this song I wish you all a most
Merry Christmas and a Happier New Coronafree Year 2021 !

The Lyrics:

BIG SURF BAY (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)


I must confess I´m a surfin´man
I belong to the beach
ridin´ surfin´those waves far out of reach
I gotta go again, my dear
with or without any hair
been dried up for just too long
oh so long

I think I´ve lost my surfin´skills
forgettin´those wonderful thrills
gotta move, move again for the waves
I do regret I dropped the surf
I´ve been stupid and dumb
so please forgive me
and raise your thumb

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams

Why on earth did I leave this style? - missin it so
so for heaven´s sake let us hurry and go !!
I feel the urge from top til toe
surfin´feelin´is on the grow
gotta get there to ride
with you by my side

Solo

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams
to the sun and her golden beams

The Style is:_THERIDE.STY

Great set of lyrics and song style Dani.

Perhaps consider bringing your vocals more to the front, or perhaps push the drums a little further back. The drums are a little dominant, to my thinking anyway.

You captured a really good Beach Boys feel.

Have a great Christmas.

Dani,

Good job of capturing that Surf Sound, again.

Nice vocals and harmonies. The slide solo is an interesting addition to the genre... smile

Happy Holidays to you and yours...

Dani,
This is very well arranged and performed.
The only element that doesn't work for me is the solo guitar - it's too grainy and aggressive for the rest of the song and genre. There's plenty of spring style reverb but too much drive/crunch for my ears.
Fabulous vocal performance.


Cheers

Hi, Ray !:))

I´m afraid you are right
but I could not change anything
because I lost the original SGU file
but, my friend, I think we are all in
for a Most Merry Christmas and
a Most Happy New Coronafree Year 2021 !

Stay safe and take care !

Cheers
Dani

You've created quite the nostalgic sound with your BIAB instrumentation and vocalizations. I've got my swim trunks and I'm ready to wade in to the surf.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
