Recorded using 12 string Chapman Grand Stick

2. Surfer Girl:
The only cover song on the album. I couldn't resist this Beach Boys classic because I always loved the lyrics and, well- its groovy. I learned it from a little pink ukulele song book named Jumpin' Jim's 60's Uke-In. Bought the book at Lahaina Music when I was trying to learn to play the ukulele (had only marginal success). I asked the mixing engineer, Dave Russell, if we could add the sound of the waves to give it a more ocean-y feel. He lit up with a smile and told me the story of how one morning he went to Makena beach in the pre-dawn hours, before anyone gets there, and set up a couple of expensive microphones to capture the sound of the waves. It sounded perfect and he was kind enough to let me use it. If you listen with stereo headphones, you'll hear the waves actually move from left to right.
