Nice tune. Beautiful guitar sounding guitar solo!

@rockenfeller: Thanks, yea the vocals were fun.

@user-138663860: Thank you very much! And Happy New Year to you as well!

While our family was binge-watching the 1990’s sitcom “3rd Rock from the Sun” I was inspired by Ben Vaughn’s (also from Southern New Jersey) rockabilly/retro-rock theme song. So I decided to step back in time (Keepsakes was mostly about time travel)to the 60’s and write a surf rock guitar tune (aka The Ventures - I played the LP "Golden Greats" so much I wore it out). I wanted to add a little more texture and I thought it would be fun to sing Doo Wop so I added 4-part vocals.

A Simple Life

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
