Johnny Santana?

Um - hardly, maybe the vocals. Not my usual country crooning.

Anyway here's a medley of two Santana songs and one other.
Evil Ways, Black Magic Woman, and Unchain My Heart.

The percussion is something innovative.
Our deck railings are not milled wood, they're logs of about 3 inch diameter. They are inserted into vertical logs of larger diameter.
This gives the railings a drumlike effect. Where there's a knot it is a higher tone than where there is not a knot.

So I went out this AM before the wind came up and played on a railing like a conga drum, and recorded it. You can even hear the birds singing in the background.

Also I've added a couple others since my last post, so have a go at them if it strikes your fancy.

Thanks for listening.

Caught up with all the songs Johnny, nice going on the Santana medley that worked well with the drumming on the rail nice touch, loved the Singing the blues, Kansa City medley sounded like you were really having a good time singing that one, great stuff very entertaining

Lily Mai was in here when I was playing Singin' the Blues she really responds to music which is great, she's sitting up on her own nearly so it won't be long before she can hold a guitar
