I was in a rut and Tony Hearn suggested a 3-chord rock'n'roll track - this is the result. Come on in, the water's fine!

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
I wanted to capture the sounds of a pool party. A song looking for fun, friends... maybe romance?
Lyrics
Come on everybody grab a towel and a pair of flip flops Take a little sunscreen to keep from turning red Call a friend and dont be late It doesnt have to be a date Wear the loudest shirt you can find to keep it festive Weve all been working hard Lets head to the back yard Im ready for a little party, lets start it Pool party lets have a bash Pool party lets make a splash Pool party wont you come on along with me Gary rode a stingray bike that all the girls like now Tony brought a ukulele and a case of pop Matt doesnt want to get wet He says hes not ready yet They threw his lawn chair and him into the deep end Weve all been working hard Lets head to the back yard Im ready for a little party, lets start it Pool party lets have a bash Pool party lets make a splash Pool party wont you come on along with me Marco Polo belly flop cannon ball Back float breast stroke (man, your sisters getting tall!) Dive off of the diving board Take the plunge fall in love The sun is going down to the sound of good vibrations Tonys ukulele gets us into the mood We sing along to his tune Were soon joined by the moon Somebodys falling in love and it could be you, now Weve all been working hard Lets head to the back yard Im ready for a little party, lets start it Pool party lets have a bash Pool party lets make a splash Pool party wont you come on along with me Pool party - why don't you come along with me?

Wow Johnny, I love this one! Anyone who didn't know it was you, would have sworn that this is a song by the Beach Boys. Your harmonies are so clean and pleasant to listen to. You never disappoint. Great job!

It's the dead of winter; and this song makes me want to take a running jump into the pool for some FUN!! :D Hey, I like this, Johnny; can't tell you've been in a rut at all...great comeback! :D Great throwback to the 60's era, I did NOT think the solo was cheesy at all! You ought to know better than that; you've got ALOT of talent, my friend. :D I'm on my second listen...and I STILL want to take a jump into that pool! LOL!! Thanks for sharing; I enjoyed the listen! :D

Hey JP, Your back with a vengeance! Classic 60s surf rock making me fall on the floor in an uncontrollable urge to go into the RFP. This track stands up with any of your Beach classics. Vocals, instrumentation all there. Love the ending too! Glad to see you back in the saddle. P.S. Ok Headphones on now. THis sounds great!
