Hi Janet - thanks for the second listen.  I just changed the  mix again!  See my note to Dan above.  

I am so happy you like my voice and song.  For the 1 day, remember I said I wrote the song and recorded the basics in one day.  Since then, the mix you now hear is a result of many days since!  
All the best.

Jimmy

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the listen too.  I am feeling good about how this turned out.  Can you give the final mix a listen and let me know if it stands out better?  It sure does on my system.  I appreciate your kind words about my voice too.  

Jimmy

Jimmy, just writing the song in one day is an accomplishment!  :)

3/13/13 Update:

I replaced the midi claves and guiro with playing the real instruments and added a live castanet track.  
This may be my last stab at this mix.  Please let me know if there is too much bottom on it (it's borderline too heavy on my system).  
Thanks much.

Rimshot,
 
Good song, I really like your percussion and guitar, they sound great....   Vox are good too.  I would have liked to hear the piano come in a bit sooner, I was just about to write that it would be great to hear a bit of piano here and there, and there it was...   Cool song, playing is outstanding.
 
Regards

Me likey lots and lots!

Here in Tampa and with the Cuban history that can be found in Ybor City it is not hard to find Cuban music.  This would fit right in with some of the best.   The percussion is of the type that would be central to it.  Great mix, vocals, and performance.  Did you do the lyrics?  If so, you did a wonderful job.
Lovely song indeed!

Very atmospheric. I really like the guiro. It sounds like it is  in a 'real space'. The guitar work is nice and laid back. I'd perhaps suggest simplifying the mix a littl at about 1'50", and where there are two acoustic guitars playing but this is just a personal preference, and I'm only listening on cheap headphones at the moment. I like sparse piano. Good vocals.

Please feel free to post a link to the song on my little FB music promo page www.fb.com/glasscastlemusic if you like.

H Mark - thanks for the listen and really nice comments.  I learned a lot and playing some of the percussion live reminded me of many studio dates a very long time ago.
