Where's Carlos? (Santana Challenge)

I've been enjoying listening to everyone's response to the Santana Challenge and thought I would do one.

This is a song I first did in 2004, and was the first real instrumental (as opposed to a jam track) I ever wrote. I dedicated it to my wife, Kathy.

I no longer have most of the original version, got lost in a hard drive crash years ago.

What I do still have is the percussion track, which was built with ACID Loops, and also the bass track, which would have been midi. No idea what I used to render midi tracks back then.

The rest of the track I built this morning and then recorded the guitar:

~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120
1903:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Bolero Ev 090

Original bass and percussion track

I used EZDrummer2 for the drum track.

EDIT: I got EZDrummer3 installed last night and liked it so much I redid the drums for this song.
