Recorded using 12 string Grand Stick

16. Suntan Lady
During the winter seasons at Puamana there was a Canadian woman who could never get enough sun. She was as brown as any haole could possibly get. I always called her the Suntan Lady and named this song after my nickname for her. The year after the album was released I saw a young surfer who was the spitting image of the computer generated Suntan Lady that we used on the cover. I could barely believe my own eyes. The graphics that Sean Stirling created for the album were really amazing- he is very talented graphic artist and also a Stick player. On this song I used a Roland VG 88 for the great distorted wah sound and at the end of the song I asked Kris Thomas to help me achieve a really wild flanging effect like Hendrix for the fade out. He succeeded nicely. Here are a couple of the graphics that Sean Stirling created for the album that were not used on the album:
