Hi, guys ! I wrote this little samba
to honor my good friend and our superb
musician Aleck Rand ! It is a while ago
I did this so I have lost all sgu files
and can´t reconstruct either style or instros
but I hope you can enjoy it nonetheless ?

We were anxiously waiting for your (Beach Boy like) vocal wink
but we will settle with this very nice instrumental!

Excellent instrumental my friend!

I see that you had to show off your new Strat wink Note that I would do the same wink


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Dani,

There`s a very enjoyable upbeat feel to your tribute -it had me bopping around the office.
The percussion is sweet... and yes, I was also expecting you to sing, but its fine as is!

Hey Dani, lovely composition. I love the interplay between the guitars in the left and right speakers, makes for a really lively, propulsive little tune. The switch to the ride cymbal in the chorus is super effective too. Very nice, would love to hear you take a vocal line over this!

Is there any greater flattery than having a song named after you? Dani has done it again and it's a good thing you can't see blushing across the the Internet.

I'm with Alyn on this one. Your voice or, even better, the best Beach Boys clone I've ever heard is the only thing I missed on this one. Nevertheless, what a pleasurable tune, what a cool pic, and what an honor. Dani, this is a great avatar - you and your Strat - your best, in my opinion.

Dean

Josie, Peter, Floyd, Will B, Aleck, Greg and
Trevor !

I am awfully sorry for this belated answer
to your most kind comments ! Due to other
commitments I just haven´t been able to
answer you earlier and for that I am truly
sorry !

I thank you all for your most kind words.
This tune was very fun to write and being
such a jazzy one it came natural to me to
dedicate it to my blood brother Aleck !

Take care

Cheers
