"AfroCuban Lullabye" - #1 in Latin Jazz, US ---- "Paracho Joe" at #6

WoW ! Here we are again ! This tune by Leo Brouwer is a Cuban Folk song & we had the most fun ever putting all of this together. I do believe it was the first tune that was recorder for the "Sleepy Gypsy" album - Mike Willis played the cello & string section accompaniment on the keyboards. It was so cool comin' up w/ all the parts for the guitar. It was all done done right here at the house in my music room using a small Digidesign Mbox2 Protools w/ my PC. Thanks again to Mike Willis (we Are working on the next recording project - "Evergreen Blueberries" and I HOPE you enjoy the material we come up with for it. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU FARMJAZZ LISTENERS WHO ENJOY OUR MUSICIAL MAGIC !
