Just JonD and myself having a lot of fun.

BiaB style = RumbaPerc 1-Congos Only Style
I deleted the piano and bass tracks and slightly modified a couple of other tracks. I also added a percussion track.

JonD is playing the B3 and the pan flute via his keyboard controller.
I am playing the vibes via my MIDI guitar controller and the fretless bass.

Rum, Bah, and Coke


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Mario,

Wow! Move over Antônio Carlos Jobim! My favorite from you.

I love the track selection and the mix is perfect.

Excellent!

Mario, this made me imagine a group of musicians on a tropical island, jamming late into the night, with lots of empty rum bottles on the table! Then Julius Wechter shows up with some of his old Baja Marimba Band licks.

As I was enjoying the groove of the track, I was tempted to start my own little Caribbean rum-fest!

Loved it!

Send more rum. Good one Mario. You rock or is it rumba?

Thanx Torrey. I have collected a number of tools over the years so I try to use them once in a while. That MIDI guitar controller is an old Casio MG 510 that is over 20 years old. I like to hang on to things!

Please do start your own Caribbean rum-fest! The Caribbean was a nice play to visit, I don't know about now after those hurricanes, and to drink plenty of free rum!

Thanx Rob. No rum was hurt during the making of this song. However the same can not be true about a few glasses of wine (JonD) and Budweisers (yours truly).

Wow - you did an awesome job on this! I'm really enjoying the Caribbean twist on this one. The bongos and pan flutes went surprisingly well together; they aren't two instruments I often thing of pairing.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile

Hi Mario,

The first thought that sprang to mind was "ambience meets latin".... very relaxing and nicely easy on the ears. I enjoyed just sitting back in my chair and going where you music took me. Enjoyed it.

All the best,
Noel
