Honk: Five Summer Stories
Five Summer Stories by HONK (1972) - Craig has been a member of the 6-piece California rock band “HONK” since 1972. “Five Summer Stories” is a surfing movie sound track which became an overnight sensation in California, Australia, & especially in Hawaii, where “Pipeline Sequence” hit #1 on the singles charts. The “Five Summer Stories” CD is still in demand today. “HONK” has toured nationally with “The Beach Boys” and other top artists & still sells out at the Coach House twice a year.

HI! Is it possible to get the sheet music for the “Pipeline Sequence”?
I do recall seeing sheet music at one time. Please contact:

I used to play this album in my store on the Boardwalk in Ocean City, N.J. Loved it still do…
Yaeh it was after 75 I was about 18 then still killer music and movie
Thanks, Lisa. i’m glad the music has meaning for you and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. When we gathered at Steve Wood’s studio to produce the “Renewed Hope” CD in January of 2009, the magic HONK chemistry was still there, as it also seems to be (for both the musicians AND the audience) at our annual reunion concerts. For me, this is a miracle. Same 6 people, 30 years, same magic, new energy.
Hey Craig! After all these years, the 5 Summer Stories album is still one of my all-time favorites. I was a teenage surf chick when the movie came out. Perfect timing.

Would really like to get the lyrics for “Made My Statement”. Can’t find it anywhere, and the Criterion site doesn’t work if you can’t log in.
Thanks for any help with this. Glad to know you’re still playing. Rock on!!
Aloha from the Big Island.
Hi Joan, Most of the lyrics are recognizable, as Steve, Beth, and Richard have always had pretty good ennunciation, even way back then. You are right, though, in any blues like that, some lyrics inevitably get swallowed, such as “As fires brew” Your guess is as good as mine!
Hi Craig,
Loved your stuff since ~’75 when I was in high school in Encinitas, where you guys were very poular with the surf crowd, and nerds like me. Looking forward to seeing y’all at the Coach House in July. Keep rockin’!
Hi Rick, Thanks for the good word. Please say “hello” at the Coach House. It will be a very special night for me … 1 year to the day since i got engaged.
Moved to San Diego in 1974. Worked at legendary Tower Records, played this album nonstop and if one song symbolized where I was, this was it. “High in the Middle” still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. What a great tune.
Thanks for the encouragement! Please join us Sat., June 2, 2012 at the Coach House, San Juan Capistrano for the Honk reunion with all original members.
Craig, I have just been floored by the quality of your sax plaing so sweet, and yet all the right icing on the cake! i am sorry that i won’t be able to see you play at the coach house June 2nd, i have to work and cannot get the time off! Doubly bummed because my brother will be opening for you and HONK! Yes, Tommy is the keyboard part of our family i’m Guitar and Harmonica! i will see you guys someday have fun! Hal Bellone
