Finally
it is over. The surprise to Ana and the whole world
was that the entire time instead of recording Mariachi
tunes for everyone to enjoy, I took this project
to a higher level. I hired a professional mariachi
band to back me up for two songs to Ana's surprise.
While this might not be an extrodinary feat, the
catch was that I spent a week memorizing a song
to sing and play for Ana. Next week, I will have
pictures of this bold event, thank god she did not
leave me, and it is official I am on VACATION until
christmas. Those that have listened to my other
music projects all I can say is to be patient and
remember that one day it will be completed.

Without
letting the cat out of the bag, this project has an
entirely new direction. Be sure to check out the site

Recorded
an acceptable guitar track to "Ella."
Only if I can get the words down!

Finally
recorded a decent version of "El Rey."
What is holding this project back is my inapt bass
playing and the lack of knowledge of the Spanish
language.

My
truck decided to die instead of me getting a jump
on this project! Spent the morning working on it,
yet it is done, now I can focus on the project this
afternoon!

NOON
The
pictures say it all, this project is driving me
nuts! But at least, I thought I would give my latest
project a south of the border flavor. The old guitar
page standard did not do this page justice. Wish
me luck as I continue on my quest to complete this
session.
I finally recorded an acceptable rhythm section to
"EL REY." Unfortunately, I play the tune
to fast! So tomorrow I will re-record this tune with
an added bass guitar.
