...good measure ("Lonely Days"). The album's best track, the title track, also deals with the theme of love and loneliness. But what makes the album fun and catchy is that this longing could very well be for a multitude of women found in one summer day on a beach. The playful guitar-laced ballads leave the listener with a smile and a jig in the step.

This surely was overkill. After all, beach volleyball is a sport that prohibits bikinis bigger than a certain size. Its charms are self-evident. Other sports are in vastly more dire need of the bonhomie of Dave and his ilk. Athens might like to consider Epee Demetrius for the fencing...
