As you probably know by now JonD and I use some very different chord progressions. This is no different. We punched the chords into BiaB, transferred everything into Sonar then jammed.

BiaB style = Cuban Bolero

We are using BiaB's drums and bass in this one and we deleted everything else. JonD laid down the B3 part via his keyboard controller and I jammed the guitar part over it. Both of these were one takes as we were both having fun and decided that the song showed that. So we left it as is, warts and all.

Let us know what you think.

Double D Bolero

Another cool instrumental Mario!! First thing I thought was Carlos Santana, but there are some really unique, unconventional but interesting changes. Jon D does on a nice job on the keys as well. You guys are a great duo. Enjoyed a bunch!! Take care. Greg

Interesting that Greg said that because we felt the same vibe from
the get go. I'll let y'all notice the warts because we just kicked back
and immensely enjoyed the listen. Got it added to our SC favs.

Nice!

Enjoyed the tune. I also was thinking about Carlos when I heard it. Interesting chord progression.
