I've been promising (threatening?) to upload one of the songs we're recording, and finally, here it is.
One of my favorite songs is the theme from the 1959 movie "Black Orpheus." The song has two different sets of lyrics. I prefer this much happier version, about Carnivale and its promise of excitement, romance and guitar-playing so beautiful it makes the sun rise. The other version, called "A Day in the Life of a Fool," is better known but somewhat depressing.
My accompanists are the Capt and our friend Daniel Perez Aguilar. Photos are from the Mazatlan Carnivale parade, 2008.

Bliss, you are so talented! I love it. The music and your voice are not only romantic, but seductive and sultry. WOW!!!
Very, very nice! I am applauding. Can you hear me?
LL and Bob - so sweet to have a supportive audience. No drunks out-shouting each other, no clattering of cutlery, just quiet, sincere appreciators of music (of course, it helps that you're so far away, I guess). Love you folks.
Bliss, that was wonderful...am so glad you figured out a way to share your music. You and husband really put together beautiful pieces. I was singing "Sway" for days after listening to you. If you market a recording, I'd buy one.
WOW! How impressive. I just love it. I hope someday I might hear you perform that live. It is lovely. LL
