I made up part of it that night, then our guitarist, young Tom Bukovac, finished it off the following day and we sang it at our next show. From that very first performance, it instantly became our most popular song.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e“Everybody stood up, locked arms, and started swaying back and forth, singing along. It was amazing! That’s the way it’s been ever since, and it’s always the last song of the show”, Gatewood said. The song was originally recorded live in the 1980s at a bar on Put-in-Bay with some antiquated equipment that didn’t really capture the moment. But that recording started to be played at island weddings, funerals, and social gatherings all the time. Eventually, the island's village council deemed it the island's official song in 2014.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eGatewood said, “With that honor, it deserved a modern recording”, so he recorded a new version and an entire album to boot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThe new album, Friends-of-the-Bay is about good times in the summer and the anticipation of those good times when it’s cold”, Gatewood said. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #242424; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThe album creates an uplifting and fun musical experience.
