I was born at an early age. Not long after, music began emanating from somewhere in my head . . . it could have been a small radio down the hall, I don't know. It certainly wasn't the full-bodied, high-fidelity audio to which I have grown accustomed as an adult. I digress. Brian Wilson is my hero and an intrinsic influence. But there are many others. In the merry village of artists to whom I owe a great debt reside, among others, John Lennon, George Harrison, Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Webb, Jimmy Page and Todd Rundgren. I write music from a deep-seated desire to tip the balance between the ultimate forces of good and evil within the cosmos . . . i.e.: I have no vendettas, no real axe to grind. I am generally not pissed off at the world. Just some of the residents. And I hope that, despite the lilting and ethereal nature of some of my songs, it is clear that my mission is to help make it all better. Change is good . . . and inevitable. Everything changes. Everybody changes. My songs attempt to illustrate that point. Life is a banquet. I would like to, at the very least, offer everyone a few tasty appetizers. Bon appetit!

Story behind the song
When Dave Beard and I sat down to create this song, we wanted to offer a sense of "oneness" between an aging surfer and his environment. We also felt it was very important to capture the style that embodied Beach Boys songs from the "SMiLE" era.
Lyrics
A cup of Joe; the morning's clear My surf report: the time draws near to hit the shore The sun is shining so very brightly I'll show no fear the sea's to blame I might wipe out but just the same Sunshine routine, you wake me up Shine on me I love the way it makes me feel These sunny days so warm and real The wafting breeze right through my soul I'm ready to throw it all away And I don't need to know the time of day The sun on my face, the wind on the waves, it's so serene It's all in my old sunshine routine ©2006 english tunes
