Sounds Good Don...... we'll talk l8tr..

PS Don,maybe you could post some of those videos here on SZ fro us via You Tube upload?

Hi Tony, thank for your kind words! I play Wave in D, but have also played it in G and C. It is a bit award but I guess I got used to it... It just a matter of working out fingering, and when to the thumb crosses over.

Yes, we closed the website. We are on Face Book though.

Paul, I both sing and play The Wave. Next time I get a chance, I'll post my rendition. Don't let Boo listen to it, though.

Would love to hear it Gary.... Such A Kool song. Do you do it Bossa or transform it?

Yes Gary, I'd love to hear you version.

Here's a fantastic version arranged by Tito Puente with the Count Basie Orchestra featuring "La India" on vocals.

Tito has always been one of my Latin music heroes.

Paul, I just got home from physical therapy, my back is killing me, I took an M&M (Margaretta and Morphine) so there may be some slurring in my speech.

Now, for some strange reason, I've never been able to get people off their arses to dance to any Bossa song that I perform using a great Bossa Nova style, either third party of from the keyboard. I never understood that. However, when I perform the same song using a Rumba style, the dance floor mysteriously fills with dancers. Not sure why this happens.

Anyway, here's my rendition of The Wave mistakes and all. And, obviously, I do not play it in the Jobin chords, because it's out of my vocal range.

All the best,

Gary

Gary... I gotta give you an A for effort!!! You got the jist of it.... I think with a few chord changes you're gonna be fine.... I like the Rhumba groove.... Thanx

Donny, thanks for the kudos, and I know that there should be some more minors in there. At this stage, though, I'm not gonna take the time to add them into the rendition. My playing days are very, very limited at this point, and after the end of the year, I'm pretty much out of the game altogether. The pain is such in my back that after a couple hours playing I cannot function well at all. Those M&Ms can really F-up your motor skills and mind, but they sure help alleviate the pain.

Thanks for listening, and don't let Boo know I posted this,

Gary
