Top class list Algernon. I appreciate the time and effort here – it is not as easy as it looks (had to add Richard Clapton etc !).
Big M – it certainly does have a feel and a smell. Unfortunately, here at least, it is also the time when people get out and drive cars to town and it is 12 months since they last did that – it is dangerous in Albury ! Rule 2 is to avoid car parks. Stock up the pantry and the liquid refreshments and bunker down. I become a village shopper and do my darndest to avoid the City of Albury. That might sound weird to some people !

Thanks vivienne, I’m enjoying doing this.
Its the same here with the mad drivers. Friday night coming home from a daughter function was almost shunted by someone who didn’t llok like stopping and only evasive action stopped this. Yesterday on th eharbour bridge had some galah almost sideswipe another, two minutes early saw nothing wrong with accelarating when trying to merge. Being Chinese and a red P didn’t help.

Novocastrians seem to think that they are preparing for a famine, so shop every day fro the six weeks prior to Christmas. They’re all crazy, looking for a bargain. When they get home they get up on the roof in their Japanese Safety Boots (thongs) and put lights everywhere. Talk about global warming.

Yes its interesting how people can’t cope without the shops being open for three days. On top of that they buy stuff that they wouldn’t eat at any other time of the year in quantities they’ll never use.
We’ve got streets near us that must be sponsored by the electricity companies given the amount of electricity they waste. They’re using enough electricity to keeep a small town going for a year in a month. They appear to draw the punters from near and far. You can’t park in the area. On top of that we have the ice cream vans selling their salmonella soft serves. Those with the lights sit in the front yards looking at the passing parade, whilst the parade looks at them like exhibits in a zoo,

Yes, the world moves in mysterious ways….I saw all these little classical books for sale for a Dollar in my favourite bookshop, I bought a bagful…everyone is getting one for Christmas…
Just because I love them, I expect everybody else to do the same 🙂

Hard to beat ‘Good Vibrations’, no matter how good the rest are. Mmmmmm 1966 a year of priapism, in between the realisation that, in this case (mine), existentialism was a tenet that I could live by, as long as I took up carousing–in tandem.
Some other good stuff here. I played it too. Go back and listen to Sly; I’m sure that the violins are off key 🙂

They did some good stuff back in the 60s the Beach Boys. As for the violins well on a second listening so are some of the voices..

I’d forgotten what a beautiful song Wedding Cake Island is – and how good the Oils were – even (or especially – depending on your perspective) without Pete Garrett.
I really appreciate this surf session, Algy. I upgraded the Sunray’s clip – a tiny bit. Can I also suggest that the Rolling Stones have a particularly fine version of Under the Boardwalk too. I suspect there might be some Richard Clapton coming too…….

I didn’t even think of Richards Clapton. Should have. Deep Water fits in nicely here
Some of the classics have been covered by many and Under the Broadwalk is no exception. So I’ve added the Stones version here.
A vertical listing of some of these covered songs could be interesting.

“Under the Board walk” Thanks Algy.
.Looking in the mirror now it seems hardly possible, I was ever the undisputed ‘king’ of the surf. Even today, mention my name around Mona Vale, eyes light up, the oldies regaling old feats of bravery and endurance. A polo necked gold chain wearing legend, sun-kissed Apollo., (I was)
It was all achieved on a second hand balsa wood surfboard, at least three metres in length weighing half a ton. Afterwards, drying out in the sun, any blisters on the fibre glass coating would be opened and after careful removal of the blister it would be repaired using some gauze and numerous coats of epoxy surface repair mixture.
Back the next day, giant waves being scaled and dominated, talk about running the tunnels!
In the mirror now, a shadowy figure, rattling on endlessly about Norwegian crimes and zincalume. The ravings a bitter reflection on the ravages of time ( but not the man) that marches on. The chiming and tolling of bells getting inexorably closer.
Under the Board Walk; it happened.

I din’t surf but swam a lot. Bilgola was my choice. At the dawn of the new millenium we went down to Mona Vale to watch the sun rise, well the clouds change colour.

Since I was a little kid, I’ve always thought that Summer has a smell and a feel, but, it certainly has a sound, too. Nearly every one of theses tunes makes me think, ‘That’s what summer sounds like!’
Thanks, Algernon, for taking time away from bagging other people’s thoughtless comments over at the Bum, to assemble this list.

Big M, we took the two littlies home after their weekend here a fortnight ago; Thomas got out the car, took a deep breath and said: It smells of Christmas…It happened to be a hot and humid day in Sydney and the weather had been cooler in Bowral.
Algernon, a good show again, will listen later…the family is coming over tomorrow, shopping and …bloody cleaning to do…

Your welcome Big M and Helvi, I’m enjoying putting these lists together whilst Waz is away on leave. In think this time of the year has a smell to it too. And the sound is a little more laid back.
