Welcome to the official web site of Southern California's own Trop Rock singer, songwriter, and Sand Dollar Millionaire, Bob Karwin. What is "Trop Rock?" It's one party country music, one part beachside bonfire and a whole bunch of good friends having a good time. Imagine Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson and the Eagles jamming after a night of rum jumbies. Now you've got it. So come on in, the virtual water is nice.......

Merry Christmas

I have just released my very first, all original trop rock Christmas song called “Coconut for Christmas.”    You can get a copy by instant download, for just 99 cents, at the Beachfront Radio Music Hut. Click here:

If you’re interested, here are the chords and lyrics:

Coconut for Christmas

G-D6-G

I want a coconut for Christmas

G-D-G

One that I can mix with rum and lime

G-D6-C-Cm7

I want a coconut for Christmas

One that I can call mine all mine

I don’t want a brand new car

To help me get around

And I don’t need a radio

To fill my life with sound

I don’t need new dancing shoes

To help me move my feet

I wrote to Santa and asked him for

The perfect present just for me

I don’t need a brand new shirt

To make me look so nice

I don’t want a copper pot

to cook my beans and rice

I don’t need ten new golf clubs

Golf balls and a tee

I’m sure Santa Claus got my letter

And knows what to bring me

C  C7

I don’t like to share the things

G

I find beneath my tree

A 

But if you ask me nice

D6

You can share my coconut with me

The Calendar Has Been Updated
