This is a music + photo mashup that happened by chance. From this initial mashup (www.archive.org/details/SeashoreDays) by Adrian (lekowala.wordpress.com) and I (RamblingLibrarian.blogspot.com), another friend, Siva (blog.sivasothi.com), suggested we could use it as a soundtrack to a photo montage that was done in 2001 (see: chekjawa.nus.edu.sg/rmbr-jul2001/index.html). This is the first version.
