ALWAYS | ALWAYS written by NR Bautista - a Love song that says 'my Love will always be strong for you and I will Always dream of you because you are Always on my mind!' A feeling we should Always have for the one we Love!
The song has a very nice Montuno Piano played by Keyboardist David Farrell, tight drumming of David Black and nice Latin Bass lines by Jim Allen.

GOT THE HOTS | GOT THE HOTS Written by NR Bautista - Now this is a excitement at first sight type of Love Song where you're blood circulates faster whenever you're around this Beautiful Creature. I've Got the Hots for you, Babe!
The Montuno feel has been put on the Bass while a smooth Rythym Guitar is played over it! This song has an interesting passage focusing on the Conga Player with a backbone driving Rythym! The Rythymists are creative!
|
BEING WITH YOU | BEING WITH YOU written by NR Bautista - This is Norm's first song written to be played in a band and has changed some over time with the creative breaks and bright ending. Jim Allen plays a great Latin Bass line and is supported well by Drummer Dave Black.
This is most definately a Love Song about the beginning of a great relationship or the awesomeness of Love re-newed. Love is Grand!
In the current version that we play Live there's an added Section in the middle where Conguero Paul Sonnabend and Timbalero Mark Briseno have Dueling Solos. This is very Cool to see!
|
EASY LIFE | EASY LIFE written by NR Bautista - one of the few non Love Songs. This tune is about knowing how to take things easy with good friends and that an Easy Life is a state of mind!
The band sounded great at the Lafayette Art & Wine Fextival September 19, 2004 playing just before smooth Jazz Guitar great Ray Obiedo who appreciated our energy.

GET ALONG | GET ALONG written by NR Bautista - big breaks with a Rock Sound with Lyrics that remind us that no matter how hard we work for a living we should stop and appreciate our Loved ones.

MEAN MACHINE | MEAN MACHINE written by NR Bautista - this is one Funk styled tune about how rough living life can be, working all day and not having much after bills, finding someone to be with and not being what it's made out to be. Life is a Mean Machine indeed!
