To Sur With Love

Surfing is a sport which requires a mastery of some rudimentary skills certainly, but for those who do it frequently enough, it is an exercise in intuition, communion with the natural world, and for lack of a better word, style. It could be said Greg Olin has a surfer's approach to music. For starters, Olin makes music in the same way a person would do yoga. It is a practice. Songs are committed to tape as part of his regimen for living, not because a product needs to be assembled. Olin has therefore amassed a backlog of recorded material which he struggles to keep track of. Until it was suggested the world would be better off with access to these songs, Olin had no real for plans them; they were just byproducts of his way of life.
