CONTENT NOTICE: If you are not a baseball fan, you can probably skip this one! Dear Vera An homage to a great ballplayer, even greater human being. ------------------------------------ Writing to you from my sleep; So many years in the deep; Darling, I miss you, but you know I had no regrets. Hearing hermanos in pain I had to get on that plane; And that is the 'me' that I pray that no brother forgets. Sad how the story's still told: "Bobby was distant and cold"; You knew the truth--I was challenged and put to the test. Yes, I excelled on the stage; But darling, the words on the page Say "He loved with his life to the end"; I gave it my best! Give my love to the children, How I miss them each day. Help them teach the young ones How Papi worked through his play. Tell my brothers I loved them, Just wasn't destined to stay; Do they get the picture up In Pittsburgh, PA? After the praise and the cheers, Twenty-one just disappears; Tell them, my dear, my life was much more than a bridge. Three thousand stars to my name; They thought it all was the game; But help for Managua was really my reason to live. ---------------------------------- Style is CHORO2.STY (Choro 2 - Brazilian Samba) MIDI Acoustic String Bass, 28 Clean Elec Guitar, 1 Grand Piano, Various Horns RT's: 1104 Guitar, 921 Bass, 671 Organ, 1265 Synth Pad RealDrums:BossaBrushes#1

TM,
A really nice tribute. Hitting all the salient point.
Roberto, as you said, was a truly gifted player and an example of a truly great human being...

I've admittedly never watched a single game of baseball in my life and had no idea who Vera was - but from some of the comments above he was a commendable player  Great tune none the less! Love the groove, and some very inventive and creative lyrics to match. Nice work and thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

I like biographical songs - there are some I enjoyed for years before understanding anything about the person written about. I liked the sentiments expressed here, especially in the chorus... cool arrangement too.

Not a big baseball fan (although I root for the SF giants when they make the playoffs) so the lyrics are not well understood by me. BUT the music is very nice!! Pretty melody and nice arrangement! Take care. Greg

Hello, Tom
Very Jobim-like. Your features appear in the way you use horns. The melody and the chord progression have also your character very well. Really good song! Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
