NInez (The Song)
Coming soon - the vocal version of Ninez
Verse 1
Querido amor
Dragon flies, dreams
And a rocking horse
A gentle hand that softly held yours
Through the gardens and lanes of your home
A heart that binds them all
Verse 2
Querido amor
The day you left
They all loved you more
And everyday (they) held open the door
Two people two houses and (more)
You are the heart that binds (holds) them all
Verse 3
Querido amor
Where is forever
To the child in us all
A laugh our friends the bounce of a ball
A birthday cake and standing so tall
A heart that binds them all
Chorus
All of the love
That history life and art knows
Is hidden deep in the wind that within
And without us flows
Holding and writing the name of
All of those who have loved
And in your (art)
The heart that binds them all

The second part of this piece is a latin piece that I play solo. It has a very different feel to what is recorded here. The first part of this piece has a gentle, precise restraint, a positive fun piece.

Carlos on Jango Radio
This piece is built on the standard 'latin' chords in Am. The piece opens with a 'mexican' feel triplet theme. The sound is 'glassy' and very emotive. The main guitar is accompanied with an ornamental melody on the second acoustic guitar. After the first pass the main acoustic guitar melody plays a secondary role to the interwoven electric guitar theme that builds to a climax on the last phrase. Most requested piece I play.

A latin Bossa Nova rhythm with a classic 'semi tone' drop to introduce the melody. I wrote this piece some 15 years ago and it is normally played as a solo guitar piece. The second pass of the work has some very expressive guitar work and chord structures. A favourite for many.

A latin piece where the bass line lets the music flow. The melody is melancholic and very expressive and the piece opens with the sound of children playing on a beach overlaid with a short poem reflecting the care and love we have for them as they learn about themselves and the world that is theirs. Lyrics have been written and a vocal version will be recorded soon.
I felt your voice as a child laughing
I didn't know you were really there
Thinking you were a dream
Hiding in the wind, playing at my feet, pushing me along
I thought you were a dream
And now you see when I laugh it comes back to me
And I know my song will go on forever ha!

Well, there I was listening to to the Gypsy Kings at a concert in Melbourne and i watched the way they formatted their cords on the guitar. At times they were playing the guitars with the high strings on the top to make the rhumba backing more percussive. They format the cords to ensure they get the feel of the 'semi tone' on every cord. So the chordal structure to this piece can be attributed to the boys from France. The piece has a strong vocal melodic line and will be recorded as a song.
