Happy Surfin' Turkey Holiday

[Madison]

I usually don't do surf but what the heck.
Got the Strat working right, might as well give it a shot.
Peace.

That is the awesome stuff!  Who played the bass and drums, your bandmates?

You could outdual the 5 6 7 8's with that!  Actually you could release that, it sounds real.

Actually I wrote a surf punk thing real quick lately.  Maybe I can get it up and running.
The project we are working on is pretty stimulating to creativity.

Nice!

The chord changes are really interesting!

[Madison]

Thanks Gents.
You guys surf kings certainly know more about that genre than I.
Really fun to play that stuff.I should do it more often.

[EL34]

I've had the hankering to do some more, just need to find time.

Winter is always a good time to do that sort of thing.

Hey, I enjoyed that!  Very cool tune.

With respect, Tubenit

>>Winter is always a good time to do that sort of thing.

About where I am at.
No yard work, got all my firewood chopped/stacked/cured, and watching the winter wheat grow.
Just regular work now.
I hate winter weather but don't really mind the cabin fever.

>>Hey, I enjoyed that!  Very cool tune.

Thanks a lot!

Aren't you in Hyogo-Ken?   The winter can't be that bad there...

[Shrapnel]

Very catchy and not all that complicated. The only disappointment I had was that it wasn't longer.  Where's the longer version that you hinted at existing?

>>Very catchy and not all that complicated. The only disappointment I had was that it wasn't longer.  Where's the longer version that you hinted at existing?

I didn't make a longer one for a couple of reasons:
-I have too many other projects and the original arrangement is basically just a repeat of what I did with a drum solo.
-I just know I'll never get back to this.
Anymore, I feel it's better to share stuff and not collect dust like all the other songs I have sitting on the "not shared" shelf. Life's too short and the world's getting "a bit nutty" Austin.

I much prefer the original version to most covers of this. Just the sound and pace are cooler IMHO.
Anyhoo here is the 1966 original (a long version?)

>>Hyogo-Ken?

Nope.Okayama Pref., half way between coasts, in mountains.
Chilly,rarely snow but nothing like the old tundra of MN.

[Bassmanster]

I like your version better.
