Based on a true story  . Lyrics are included on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYhCCIuzUd4I wrote this song this last summer and I set out to do everything on keyboard as I had just bought the M-Audio Keystation49 MK3 on sale for $99 (regularly $119). With limited keyboard skills, I did this simple song, bass, keyboards, and pad I played from the keyboard and the provided plugins that came with it. It's unbelievable what you get for $99, the keyboard, and over 2,000 sounds. At the end of the day, I couldn't resist and added guitar. After the great data loss of 2021, I now don't know what I did for the drums, perhaps BIAB, perhaps EZDrummer2. The only record I have of the tune is on YouTube. Thanks in advance for checking it out.

I have to agree with Scott.
Excellent tune and very nostalgic.
Glad I never missed this one.

Very nice, Frank! I like the story (I have a similar one from around the same time period)
Good vocal delivery and nice touch on the guitar, very tasteful and melodic with great feel.
Enjoyed!

Very relaxing song with a touching lively romantic story.
The interpretation has very personal touch - really like the nostalgia in your voice. Also enjoyed the guitar playing.
The video images support the story well.

I didn't know Sangria was bottled.
When I drank I didn't mind this sort of punch at all.
Nice story - 1975 - I was an ancient 18.
I'm glad you added the guitar it really works.
Cheers

Nice song, good singing and great guitar. A few of the lyrics didn't flow as well as they could have. But still an enjoyable song. Nicely done!

I like this one a lot! As TuneMonger said, it could have had a bit more flow... but it doesn't really detract from the song.
Sorry to hear of the Great Data Loss of 2021.

$99!!
M-Audio Keystation49 MK3 sells for $429 Aussie dollars over here (that's USD $320). You sure got a bargain.
Liked your song. It was worth a 2nd listen.
Take care,
Ghostgum.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile
