Hello Tarbaby.
That's a very pretty song.
I wish I could play that beautifully.
Thank you!
Cheers

Hello Tarbaby,
I would like to wholeheartedly agree with Lee.
Heartedly agree with Lee. That could be; a song maybe?
Regards.
Jim.

Thank you for the listen, Lee and Jim! This really was not my best effort, but I never have gotten around to re-recording it.

It DOES sound like a song, doesn't it? I wonder if there are words to it? There is little infomation on the internet about this once popular Brazilian composer. There are only three pieces from him that I've found on the net and two of them are right here in the Delcamp archives. The third is the famous "Tico Tico".

There MUST be more....

Thank you again,

Alan

"Tico Tico" is his song? Impressive but of course how many of you know this song (age test)? Here's a rendition from one of my favorite Brazalian CGist,Carlos Barbosa-Lima: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfWxm4U ... ed&search=

Thank you Vito and Alan,
I have checked the youtube for the last half hour and was thoroughly educated and entertained. Carlos Barbosa-Lima and Berta Rojas playing " Luiza " and " Sons de Carrilhoes " not forgetting " Tico Tico "
What is a poor guy with arthritic fingers going to do?? After that demonstration of dexterity by them I will forever be on the sidelines, however a fella has to have a dream and a goal in life. Thanks again.
Regards.
Jim.

Jim.

"Luiza" is one of the pieces I'd like to play one day.
Thanks for mentionning it Jim

[Lee]

That's why I love this piece.
Besides the great playing.
I am a sucker for anything Bossa or Brazillian for some reason.

Carlos Barbosa and Berta Rojas.
Yes, I am old !

Cheers!

[mpferreira]

Just beautiful.
I specially liked the lyrical rendition of the melody.
Thanks for drawing my attention to such a nice piece from my own country.

Hey Tarbaby, this is a beautiful piece and so romantic - beautifully played and with such sensitivity I could almost believe that I were the only person you were playing for Thank you and keep it coming...

[Tarbaby]

Thank you, MP! I think that Brazillian music is among the most beautiful in the world. There are SO many different styles and genres as well. I'm sure there are many composers I've never heard of, but I'm glad I found this one! Thanks for the listen!

What a lovely thing to say, dear V_R! Thank you for the compliment!

There is a lot in what you say. The guitar is an especially intimate sounding instrument, with the quality of making the rest of the world seem to disappear.

On top of that, Kurt Vonnegut said that he felt that ALL artists- writers, painters, musicians, etc.- do what they do "with an audience of one in mind". I tend to agree.

In my case, I'm ALWAYS thinking about one special person whenever I play. Especially with this piece, because the object of my affection lives an ocean away. I feel that this is a kind of "song without words" in the way that the melody seems to describe all the yearning for the lover who is so far away, while still having the joy and comfort of being loved by such a wonderful person at least SOMEWHERE in the world.

So, you are very perceptive to have been able to hear that there was, indeed, an "only person" I was playing for!

It was her, but, maybe you just got in the way! She DOES live in London, so that's the direction I was sending my energies!

Thank you again,

Alan

Thats a beautiful little piece. I should try it out sometimes.

[Vito Simplicio]

So, you are very perceptive to have been able to hear that there was, indeed, an "only person" I was playing for!

And I thought your were playing just for me.

Hello Alan and Vito,
You have to add little old beginner me, I really appreciate you both. Because I can't do it, makes in even more beautiful.
Regards.

[kulan69]

Lovely piece and masterfull, great performing !!!

[remmus]

Hi Tarbaby!

If kulan69 had not pulled this up I might not have gotten to hear it. It is so lovely! It sends me back immediately to when I was a kid listening to my mother's Brazilian guitar records. So sweet, so real and in the moment......! Oh how nice!

Thank you!

[vitro]

Hi Tarbaby did you find anyone to dance yet

[Tarbaby]

Thank you very much for the bump and your kind words, kulan69!

And thank you for the lovely flowers, Summer!

Hi Tarbaby did you find anyone to dance yet

Hi, Vitro! Someone recently bumped up Raymaker's wonderful recording of this piece, but I noticed from his profile that Raymaker hasn't posted since the end of last November.

So, no. I haven't found anyone to dance with yet.

I do a lot of twirling around the room by myself, though!
