Just back home from Laguna Beach, listening to this, and I get Beach fever all over again... very good Daryl...

Nice job Daryl, give it about six months after the retirement l suspect you will wonder where you found the time to go to work

Everyone I ever spoke to who has retired says exactly that !

Everything sounds as it should with just enough flavour to evoke the islands, without it feeling too contrived. Would maybe bring the congas in a little more, but that's about it.

Thanks all.  There seems to be a concensus that the congas are too far left, I can accept that, it must be true as I do have the quite far to the left and I will bring them back.

Lynn - There are steel drums in two places in the song, most promiently in the verse that mentions steel drums. 
 
Paulo, I agree I hear that all the time but it's because the poor saps let eveyrone take advantage of them because they figure they dont' have anything to do.  I will not suffer from that as I'm shallow and selfish and I itend to trout fish and play music... all the time.

No poor sap here, but I think you will find someone else has plans for you.  I hope your dream comes true.

Only listening on a laptop at the moment Daryl, But it all seems to be coming through clear & present. Nice vibe here. Makes me want to retire right now (not that I didn't want to do that before listening but still) Nice work.

Hey Daryl,
 
This sounds fantastic -- just the right amount of everything in the mix -- from the very first second of the song the reverb and mix sounds very smooth.  The sound of the guitar and your playing is great.  Very nice.
