Should be fun. I'm really digging the mandolin. I'm going to try taking off the big strings on my twelve string guitar (the low ocave ones) and replace them with matching octave strings (sort of a Nashville tuning). It should give it a sort of a mandocello sound. Considering a decent mandocello costs at least $1,000, I think it's worth a try...<br /><br />The word of the day is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Aphesis</span>. To let go. Releasing. To forgive. Also the gradual elimination of the first part of a word, like 'til, 'kay, 'cause, 'squire, etc.<br /><br /> <p style="font-family: georgia;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"Don't you understand you're not making Christianity better?

It sounds good. I think I'm going to re-record the acoustic guitar, maybe just use one track of nylon string classical guitar. I also came up with some jazzy mandolin riffs. Beija Flor (or "Hummingbird" in Portuguese) is basically a dumbed down bossa nova song. Well, the chords are dumbed down, the lyrics are authentic.<br /><br />Beija Flor<br />words and music by Ben McCombs<br /><br />quando estou<br />aquí com você<br />assím<br />e o silencio<br />fáz-me lembrar<br />do dia em quê<br />em quê conhecia<br />você e eu disse a mim<br />mesmo<br />será quá nós dois será?<br />e eu<br />sou seu<br />e se tivesse tempo eu<br />ía explicar as<br />tantas vezes<br />quê você me fez<br />chorar de alegria<br />quero quê saibas<br />quê eu<br />sou seu<br /><br />Copyright 2005 Ben McCombs<br /><br />So tired, can't hold up eyelids any more...<br /><br />Until next time... adeus<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12296368-111467072554021108?l=umafloresta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Uma Florestahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10591890333861024501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12296368.post-1113960132718034342005-04-19T18:18:00.000-07:002005-04-19T18:22:12.716-07:00<a href="http://www.podsafeaudio.com">www.podsafeaudio.com</a><br /><br />Welcome to the official Uma Floresta Blogspot, where you can find all the latest and greatest about your favorite nonband, Uma Floresta.<br /><br /><br />More soon...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12296368-111396013271803434?l=umafloresta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Uma Florestahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10591890333861024501noreply@blogger.com0
