02 Sinbad The Surfer 02 Sinbad The Surfer
A tip of the hat to Dick Dale and Jimmy Messina.

01 Heartbreak Reef 01 Heartbreak Reef
Another Surf tune true to the feel and mood of the early 1960's.



10 Dave's Wave 10 Dave's Wave
In the distorted-guitar mode pioneered by such artists as link Wray and Davie Allan.

13 Badlands Rider 13 Badlands Rider
Another Spanish-tinged song, this one a Western theme.

19 Treasure Cove 19 Treasure Cove
A slow contemplative surf ballad. It always mellows me somewhat to listen to this song. I'm particularly proud of this composition.



Mr. Quench Mr. Quench
An undercurrent of fear coupled with determination to grab that 30 foot wave

Malibu Midnight Malibu Midnight
Dark and moody, it's midnight in Malibu and you're cruising Zuma with your wahine, trying not to be spotted by the cops.

Behind The Wall Behind The Wall
Very much in the mode of the James Bond/Secret Agent themes of the mid 1960's. The Intro which divides the verses is played balalaika-style on a Fender guitar!

Nuevo Durango Nuevo Durango
A definite tip of the hat to the Ennio Morricone movie themes that provided such a great soundtrack to the Sergio Leone Westerns that starred Clint Eastwood, such as Fistful of Dollars, Hang 'Em High! and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
