I was in Hawaii, just back from surfing, when I got this picture in the mail. I’d just received a ukulele and needed an excuse to practice it. The photo summed up a safe harbor & tranquility and with this sensation I steered my way to this song.. When I got home to Sag Harbor I put the photo up on a big screen in my studio. I practice the song until I could record it in one take, start to finish.
