this is a rough demo of a favorite song of mine by the drifters from long ago
SPANISH HARLEM  is a song my mom used to listen to and sing when i was a little boy and tho i could  not talk or sing yet that song stuck with me for ever.
the drifters were so smooth with vocals that could not be matched to this day...
plz take a trip down memory lane and give it a listen, keep in mind as you do that this is a rough deme , one take one shot ,5 mimutes in the studio and  a lot of fun to record.
one day i just might do a full recording of it for release, but for not , as john lennon would say listen to this heep  of notes .
wouldnt print his words here but you get the just of it.

this is the second of 3 cds  i have been recording on and workink on at the same time.
i am still holding firm that all 3 cds will be released within one year of the first cd released which was throwback heart.

yesterday , saturday, my wife and i had an early dinner and decided to go relax on the patio.
we soon found ourselves falling asleep in a warm breeze and birds singing.
about one hour later we were woken up by the sound of thunder.
my wife woke me up and said we should go inside.
no sooner had we gotten into the house we heard a loud roar like a train going through the back yard, we heard a tree snap and crack and boom.
where my wife and i were not two minutes before a micro burst hit and creamed our patio.
we could not believe what had just happened and we missed it by only seconds.
we were saved by the angels.
i put one picture of it up in my photo section, have a look and see where we were.
my wife and i are happy to be here and safe.

HI FOLKS,
well here we are the very first release from TWILIGH RECORDS
and no better way to start then with a duet with my fellow TWILIGHT RECORD artist STELLA PASKEL

this song and one other duet with STELLA will be released on both of our up coming cd releases from TWILIGHT RECORDS.

THROWBACK HEART
has been covered by more artist than any other song i have written and i am so happy and proud to share the vocals with such a lovely lady with a beautiful voice.
please enjoy and let me know what you think about this song....
peace
allan
