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
Instros: Guitar 1: 950
Drums: Nashville swing
Guitar 2: 956
Guitar 3: 953
Pedal Steel: 2669
Synth: 1840

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

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.
