I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.

Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

Story behind the song

It was just a great feeling that came over me reflecting on being at Topsail Beach with my family.  I was really moved by my wife's love, the experience of the beach and the deep influence of a lifetime of absorbing Beach Boys music.  Most people say this is my best song.

Lyrics

PEPPERMINT BAY
Words and music by Johnny Proctor

Walking hand in hand with you at Peppermint Bay
At the end of the day 
On the beach in the spray
Barefoot in the sand with you at Peppermint Bay
As waves roll in
And if the sun goes down, then the moon is our light
If the moon's in the clouds, then the stars will be bright
If the stars disappear, then we'll make our own light
With love - with our love

Wading in the waves with you at Peppermint Bay
For a moment of play in an innocent way
Splashing in the crashing surf at Peppermint Bay
As waves roll in
And if the sun goes down, then the moon is our light
If the moon's in the clouds, then the stars will be bright
If the stars disappear, then we'll make our own light
With love - with our love

Salt water up to our knees
Echoes of gulls in the breeze
And in your eyes I can fathom the sea
And the love gazing back at me
Warms me like the setting summer sun

Wordlessly discussing love at Peppermint Bay
In a spiritual way you knew just what to say
Eternity begins tonight at Peppermint Bay
As waves roll in
And if the sun goes down, then the moon is our light
If the moon's in the clouds, then the stars will be bright
If the stars disappear, then we'll make our own light
With love - with our love

Brian W. is a real hero to me for both hi musical and personal journey and ultimate victory.  While its -10c here this song took me to those great days on the beaches of the Great Lakes.  Enjoyed sincerely.
