Jimmy, you wrote and recorded a lovely song.  I thought you voice was rich just right for this song.  I liked the reverb, and the restraint you used on it.  It could take on a bit more percussion if you desired, but you have a strong foundation for any direction you want to go.

I enjoyed that a lot... very cool retro vibe... maybe a little long... Love the guitars & bass lines... Very cool lyrics...

I love the flow of this piece.  GREAT performance on the acoustic. KUDOS!

Mike - I am so glad you liked this.  Thanks for your post!

Vincente - I have been debating on the percussion arrangement (keep is really simple or not) and you have convinced me to work on it a little more.  Thank you for the kind words and comments.  I will keep in mind the suggestions when I remix.

Lynn - hi Lynn.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.  I really am happy that you like my vocals.  Sometimes you never know!

Notnat - Thank you much!  I like your "retro" comment a lot.  I did think about shortening the instrumental but what the heck, my first latin song so why not just go with it! 

Hi Kev - Glad you liked it.  I played the acoustic lead parts last using my slim Yamaha electric/acoustic miked with a Behringer's XM8500 straight into my Zoom R24.  I really liked the sound it got.

This was much fun you guys and I can't tell you how much your feedback means to me!

Nice work Jimmy. I would suggest this needs more than a day though. It is a fabulous song in many ways, but it seems to need a little polish musically and performance wise. It feels a little rushed at times... things like ending a line with "Bumblebee", then starting the next one with "the Bumblebee", and so on. I think with some time, this will become an exceptional song.

foxwolfen - thanks for the good comments.  I am adding percussion, tweaking the vocals and doing a final mix tonight.  I will post when it is done.  I like the lyrics as is and believe they tell a good story.  



Hope you are doing well.

 Synchronicity! I just saw that movie two days ago, couldn't stop smiling throughout. Was very impressed at how funny the stories are in musica cubana. Y despues de ver a la pelicular, a mi sorpresa, yo hablo el lenguaje. However, your instrumentation is impeccable, terrific vocal harmonies, and a pristine mix. top notch work! Mark

Me encantó lo humilde los músicos estaban en la película. Maravilloso!
 
Thank you Mark for your kind words.  I will be posted a new mix tonight I hope.  That movie really was great.
