WOW Dani! This is awesome! You're probably the one guy in the forum who could pull off the Beach Boys style harmonies! But even before the singing started I was impressed that your instrumentation sounded very Brian Wilson-esque!
You need to do more of this! You picked a very prolific song writer to mimic, so now your take-offs have to be equally prolific!

Hi Dani. I think you really captured the early Beach Boys feel here.
Great effort on the harmonies.
I think you actually pulled it off.
Great work.

Beach Boys reference is adequate! Really well done, Dani! Love it!  Nice and laid back, just like sitting at the beach, having a cold drink and watching the surfers having fun! Nice song!

Hello, Dani
What a cool chorus.
I also like the Beach Boys from my childhood.
Surfer Girl, I Get Around, She Knows Me Too Well, Don’t Worry Baby, California Girls, When I Grow up to Be a Man, etc.
And now your song Let’s Go Surfin’.
A Great Tribute to Brian Wilson.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Pretty Sensational Dani.
Yes, you captured that Surf Style, no doubt about that
Loved the falsetto harmonies, absolutely perfect!
Great effort for sure.

Hi Dani,
Wow! That was incredibly creative.
You captured the vocal harmony, chord progressions and groove of the classic Beach Boys sound. Is there a genre that you can't do? You really seem to be putting BIAB through its paces lately and creating some very diverse music. It's fantastic!
All the best,
Noel

Hi Dani,
an absolute hit! I had an idea what to hear when I read the title but you topped it. Mr. Harmony himself.
Very enjoyable listens.

Dani Wilson!
The lost Wilson Brother!
This is SO well done!
I have just finished reading "Catch a Wave: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson" after seeing the movie "Love & Mercy". As I read, I would listen to whatever song they were talking about at the time, so I have heard a LOT of Beach Boys music recently... This fit right in... You have captured it perfectly. Nice mix, too! Great harmonies.
Your best ever! Surf's UP!!!

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."
