A quick one (not necessarily while he's away)

 As I say, this one won't take you long.

I'm not sure where the music comes from. I'm reasonably positive it's not actual surf music from the sixties. Does bear some of that influence.

Not too complex. Basically I like this stop-motion film because it's fun. A girl and her surfboard and some fishes. What could be better?

weird bit of synchronicity with this post: we had just re-watch 'the kids are alright' the previous evening, over the course of which not only is 'a quick one (while he's away)' performed ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJv2-_--EY4 ), but the true highlight of which is their semi-spontaneous performance of the surf classic 'barbara ann', featuring keith on lead vocal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFaXTV1-l2A ...

ps: enjoyed the video: simple, clever, & soothing...

On the Vimeo surfer video: yeah, that was my reaction. Thought you might appreciate it.

Both those Who performances are something else. Pete knows he's nailed it at the end of "A Quick One" when he says "You are all forgiven!" with a smile. Rumor has it the Stones buried Rock 'n' Roll Circus because they felt like the Who had upstaged them. Ah well, what're you gonna do?

"Barbara Ann" was neat. It looks like it was close to Keith's declining years, but he seems confident there. They sometimes look like just a bunch of Chuck Berry loving kids having fun together.
