Hi, friends ! Just had to drop in to inform you that I´m beginning to get in shape - my hip that is. I have moved to Kirkkonummi to a most lovely house with a very nice garden - t´was really good to get out of the hot city indeed ! I have recovered from my injuries but i have not yet been able to put in too much steam with composing due to all the fuzz with illness and moves etc. etc. not to mention that I am on my way to Spain for the fifth time in almost two years and so let´s keep our fingers crossed that the trip can materialize this time ! Meanwhile, friends ! I did stumble upon this tune I wrote quite a time ago and can´t find lyrics or instrumentation to ! It is anachronistically written for the oncoming winter so I guess I´m in fact way out in advance (quite a bit, really)! We are going to Spain at the beginning of September and we´ll come back in November if Higher Powers will admit ! I do apologize for not being able to present those particulars you are used to get in the introduction but I hope nonetheless that this tune will bring a smile upon your faces ! Take Care all of you ! http://app.box.com/s/wx7llsw0kbv2qghg2z99y3ghcp6tlzd4http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/this-is-wintertimeCheers Dani PS 2 I managed to extract my words out of the song and they go like this: THIS IS WINTERTIME (Music & Lyrics by Norman Wibe) Skies turnin´grey that´s a certain sign there´s goin´to be snow that´ll be so fine we have waited for so long thru all autumn long and it´s gettin´truly cold now we need to be bold it is Wintertime ! What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! Snow fallin´round drifts on the ground all nature is white you can´t hear a sound and the freezin´wind is gone as we´re movin´on the feelin´s just so great no matter she´s late our Wintertime What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! You will have to dress right not to get a frostbite skiing in the moonlight will make you feel allright tonight what a treat of the night ! We´ll ski away out around those isles everything´s white there for miles and miles I think we´ll get a flair for crispy air and when returnin´back we´re in for a snack this is Wintertime ! What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! For you and for me !

Dani,
Good to see you back! Don't apologize, glad to see you getting better and doing creative things!
Very nice tune, a lot of harmony is going on. Honestly one of the best songs I have heard by you. Not trying to be nice. It is sophisticated and cool. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. probably ridiculous for Finland to get such high temperatures.
Misha.

Hi, Misha !
Thank you so much for your most
kind comments truly much appreciated !
Thank you also for your kind words referring
to my well being !
You are completely right !
Can´t remember when or if
we have had anything even close
to this heatwave !
Huh....!
In any case moving out to the country
made it a little easier to bear !
Hope you have managed to cool
yourself somehow also !
Cheers
Dani

Anachronistically a song about Wintertime
in the heat of the summer
Interestingly, I heard that Mel Torme and Bob Wells wrote The Christmas Song on a hot day in Summer (Boy, you must be confident that a song is great when you name it that........And it is!).
Nice tune Danny.....classic Dani style!! Hope your trip works out this time! Always love to hear your stuff!! Take care. Greg

This tune glides along like a sleigh ride. It's nice to have a winter song during the heat of the summer.
Good one, Dani!

Hi Dani,
Nice to see you back with a new one! I’ve always been a fan of your vocal style.
Spain! We had a dream vacation planned there for last year. Got cancelled due to covid.
Enjoy!

Always great to hear a new one from you... with that signature Surfin' Dani sound.
Cool harmonies (as always).
Good to know things are looking up for you...

Joyful surf song about surfing on snow and ice, very clever angle. Catchy melody, good vocals and lush arrangement. Thanks for cooling my hot apartment. Get well and to Spain also And don't forget to water your new garden during this heat wave  Janne

It's extremely hot and humid here so winter thoughts are good!
And the song is good. Nice hearing those harmonies again.
Best to you both on the upcoming adventures!

Great that you have recovered and now is back introducing us to good music.
I liked your unusual chord progression in the beginning... and loved how the song evolved after that!
Thanks a lot for sharing!

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."
