It was a difficult change, and out of the struggle was born a new sound. is just that: a collection of jazzy, funky, cool -- and most of all, original -- compositions.

Story behind the song
Note: this song starts slow, but changes to a nice conga groove at about the 1:00 mark. So if you're impatient, just run the clock forward My second song of FAWM 2010 features hand percussion. Back in 2007, I got a set of three Meinl Woodcraft Congas -- tumba, conga, and quinto. These appeared on my second Jamendo album, "handmade", which featured all hand drums. They've moved with me all the way from Florida to Virginia. The second thing I like about the song is the sound of the guitar I'm using -- a Breedlove classical. For this sort of song, with the style of chords I'm using, nylon strings are ideal. Here's the image that goes with the song: twilight at sea, near enough to see the shoreline. The sun sets. Lights go on in the towns; the water reflects these lights, which shimmer on the waves. Overhead, the stars appear one by one. -- This song was composed and performed using natural rhythm only -- without a metronome, click track, or drum machine. "No Robots Allowed" is my theme, and here are the rules I'm following: http://bmccosar.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/the-robot-rules/
