If you're like me, and still want to feel the physical record in your hands, and read the dedication, and track listings with times, and all those other "old timey" tactile experiences, then this package is for you! The CD is complete with a full color printed face, and is gently enclosed in an eco-friendly full color printed sleeve, and protected from the elements with full coverage shrink wrap.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Stories I Can Tell
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Each year, my family and I normally head to the beach for vacation, usually in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. On one trip, a few years back, I began thinking about all of the things that we have enjoyed or have done over the years while on vacation, and I started compiling a list of all of those things, which became this song.

That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It could be the Outer Banks or the Florida Keys,
Up in the Hampton's or Cape Cod if you please

Floppy Hats, Water Wings
Chaise lounge, Boogie Boards
Sea Shells, Reggae Chords
Para Sails, Fishin' Pier
Cheap Shades, Shark Fear
That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
Maybe travel to La Jolla or to Carmel by the Sea,
End up in Puerto Vallarta or in Cabo you could be
Yeah, that's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It might be a high rise hotel or a cottage by the sea,
As long as it's got sand there that's the place you'll want to be
Crab Legs, Fried Grouper
Steamed Shrimp, Conch Fritters
Go Karts, Tilt-A-Whirls
Ice Cream Vendors, Ticket Girls
Salt Water Taffy, Souvenirs
Tee Shirts, Goodbye Tears
