I'm a sad case.

As a philosophical linguist, I have to point out that this sentence is ungrammatical without quotes around the words "may" and "can".

"Humbug," you reply, "You know what I mean!"

(Enjoying the song, BTW! Love electric lead guitar instrumentals.)

Welcome to the forum!
When the song started playing we looked at each other and said “Santana” and this was before we read your write-up. Excellent tribute song. All sounds great. Nice mix.

Hello Laurent,

Although I can speak and understand -some- French (learned at school and on holidays), I stay with the universal language in this forum ;-)
Welcome on this forum. I hope we can hear more from you on the latin front. Talk with Cuban Pete! the both of you can do a collaboration, maybe?

Anyway, I liked what I heard from you in Carlos amigos.
I read you made this song as a tribute to (Carlos) Santana. That's really nice! I liked a lot of their songs too.
Your song is a nice attempt at that. But what I liked from Santana was the outspoken way tthe solo guitar was played. I missed that a bit in your song. I know it is very difficult to achieve that, but I noticed you can play that guitar very well, so I bet you can come at least very close.

I'm looking forward to your next tribute,
Hans
