[TheOcean4Life]

how many guys do you see paddling out while their surfing NONE not like these days. I'd give anything to surf these waves with a few mates. The old days never to be seen again.

[MitchellGhazali]

[surferman343]

TERRIBLE song

[ffsantiago]

and actually check out a movie called Single fin Yellow, and check out Nat Young son, Beau Young surfing a similar board from his father... very good...

[ffsantiago]

Watch Nat Young and his single fin surfing so smooth, fast and radical is inspiring.

[RockandRoller918]

When i watch morning of the earth i feel is if have gone back to the 70s.Single fins and beautiful surfing.

[trenchmax]

This is surfing in its best form. Shaping your boards, easy simple living.

[jettubes1234]

Yep one of my fave songs and this is my all time fave movie, it so spiritual, i cant believe they can actually justify putting this absolute punk, rap, bla bla bla impression on surfing today. it makes me want throw up. this movie shows the real meaning of surfing. being one with the ocean, and having peace out in the water, thats how i view surfing and always will.

[LampoCastor]

I've just updated the info for this vid. BJStar66 let me know that there is a new G. Wayne Thomas website, so there is a link to the site in the video info. Well worth a look!

[BJStar66]

As much as I LOVE "Open up your Heart", it's THIS song "Day Comes" that really MOVES me, warms me & uplifts me - makes me feel good.

G. Wayne Thomas is a True Music Maker to be sure!

[murf69]

wish i was sein him at the capital at the end of the month...

SOLD OUT!

[fabtothemax]

Please thank him for the inspiring music... Question: where can we get his music in the American continent? (or anywhere for that matter) I am from Mexico and have looked for his music since I first saw MOTE 11 years ago in Australia and have never suceeded except here in youtube. Thank you !

[BJStar66]

I most certainly thanked GWT for you for his inspiring music, and he was really touched. As to your question of where to get hold of his music in Mexico, I shall have to get back to you on that one. This is just a quick reply to acknowledge your comment & question. I shall reply to you again when I have the answer. Thanks for sharing!

[tropicaltrix1]

Can you persuade GWT and crew to have a Morning of the Earth event in Brisbane, along with Sydney and Melbourne. Us Queenslanders are fans too !!

[BJStar66]

Yes! A VERY good question! I just informed

G.Wayne Thomas with that. I too am a fellow Queenslander born, and I shall push forward the case further tomorrow. Though it's not GWT who is running this show, he can still put the question to the production company. Would be great though wouldn't it? So glad you asked!

[tropicaltrix1]

Would be great! Saw the story on 7.30 report so I guess with national coverage it would draw a huge crowd - just like the old days. Cheers.

[BJStar66]

Mmmm. I don't think they really knew just how popular this production was going to be! I have a funny feeling it's going to be touring more places and for a lot longer than any of them imagined. Again, thanks for bringing up a dam good question about a QLD show, and I shall do my best to push it forward.

[jettubes1234]

one of my fave songs and movies.

[BJStar66]

G. Wayne Thomas (Wayne) was NEVER in the band Flake.He was born Graeme Wayne Thomas & went by the name Wayne Thomas. In the early 70's there was a drummer Wayne Thomas who was in Flake. To avoid the growing confusion between the two musicians, Wayne put the initial "G" infront of his name, thus becoming G. Wayne Thomas.For those of you who've wanted to know what that "G" stands for, now you know. I still think it stands for "GENIUS"!

[BJStar66]

G. Wayne Thomas also produced many Bands and Artists in the 70's. All of Jon English's early hits, Autumn's 2nd album "Comes Autumn" and many other artists. He won awards for writing jingles for advertising companies. He was the 1st to have his own record label "Warm & Genuine". He is a Genius. He has an awesome voice that one never tires of listening to. His music makes you feel good. There WILL be more info on him very soon. I shall keep you posted. Promise.

[LampoCastor]

Cheers for the info. Agree with you 100%, he's one really talented tunesmith and his voice is fantastic.

I see Aztecmusic in Oz seem to have plans to issue the Crystal Voyager soundtrack with another album of Thomas's songs but can't find any specific reference, so don't know if it's out yet.

Def keep us posted, appreciated!

[eskimoDOMINIC]

whose g wayne thomas?? i cant find any info on him.

[LampoCastor]

He's an Australian songwriter/musician/producer, probably best known (outside of Australia), for his songs and performances on Morning of the Earth (the soundtrack of which he produced), and the soundtrack of Crystal Voyager.

He was a founder member of the Sydney based band Flake(active member 1968-72 and when they reformed 1989-91), the Australian band Duck, etc.

[eskimoDOMINIC]

sweeeet. thankyou. he's an amazing vocalist.

[tollo004]

I would like to hear Chrystal Voyager,been a long time.Morning of the earth brings back good memories for me as a surfer & music lover. tolloo3

[murf69]

[BJStar66]
