Hi, friends !

Been quite a long time since I´ve been
able to do some new stuff ! I wrote a
couple of songs that I haven´t been able to
produce the way I should like (maybe my
self chriticism has grown over the years)
This little surf tune I had to do together
with the Daniettes and so I have to thank them
so very much for their sweet backing !

Here are the links to the music:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/surfins-goin-on

http://app.box.com/s/uo7mmaaxbw0usqoukprk428bk1z11k81

...and here are the lyrics:

SURFIN´S GOIN´ ON (music and lyrics by Norman Wibe)

You know that I´ve been travelin far and wide, oh my darlin´
´cause I´ve been chasing those waves all over the world
and I´ve been surfin´ both tidal waves and big, big, mav´ricks alike
feelin´that urge to surf again deep inside

My sweet little darlin´won´t you help me pack our gear now
´cause we´ll just have to fly so far away
the airplane leaves at five today, and there´s no chance to stay
Let´s hurry darlin´, don´t stop, come what may


Surfin´s goin´on
no more turfin´along

The boards are ready and so should we, now my darlin´
let´s stuff the rest all back in the trunk of my car
we need to get ev´rything on board as we´ll be travelin´so far
there we´ll be just you and me afar

Surfin´s goin´on
no more turfin´along

Surfin´s larger than life I don´t need to tell you
and you´ll be havin´the happiest time of your life
ridin´on the crest of those wonderful waves
you´ll gonna feel the bliss
that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss
that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss
that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss


The Style is LARRY.STY (Larry Shuffle Style)
and the instros are:

Bass: 34, Elec Piano: 6, Drums: RD:s Pop Shuffle
Guitar: 24, Organ: 19 Rock Organ and the
Daniettes are Voice Oohs: 54 Voice Oohs

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 on my laptop
Compression and reverb used !

Cheers
Dani

Very well done smile Love the harmonies here. It sounds really lush and is a great throwback to the classic surfer rock style. The vocals are spot on here, and there's some great progressions too.

Great work - thanks for sharing!

What a delightful cheery Summery song Dani, if this song doesn't cheer someone up,nothing will!

Dani you keep getting better and better, this is my new favourite of yours.

Dani,

This is really cool.

The Beach Boys came to mind immediately.

Love the backing vox and the overall mix.

This is really an excellent production. Glad you are back!!

Cool one, Dani.

Your "Beach Boys thing" gets better with each offering. Nice harmonies and the Oohs and Aahs really work well.

You captured that 60's sound well.

(thanks for stopping by "A New You". I doubt I will re-visit the thread).

Great energy and the warm feelings come through, as they always do in your music.
Your voice is in fine form... and those harmonies!
Keep that surf sound coming.

Nice that the "boys" are back!

We enjoyed the imagery, vocals and the textured production.

I had bleached hair, I had a board and I was a lousy surfer! Guess it took more than that.

We really enjoyed this Dani.

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!

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."
