Having grown up watching several of those Bing Crosby/Bob Hope classics such as "On the Road to Morocco, On the Road to Singapore, etc, etc, I wanted to write a tropical song that had a charm/quaintness similar to the songs you hear on those shows. :)This is not only my first attempt at a vintage styled parlor song, it is also my first song dedicated to our years spent in St.Maarten! I made sure to include a tribute to the Johnstone whistling tree frogs that were such a major part of the island experience.
(Side Note: D Major was chosen on purpose because it's not too difficult to play most of the chords on the Uke..except for maybe that darn B7 chord. Lol)
