Thinking of my dear friend Ken Basman tonight! Listening to some of the songs we played together as teenagers…
How about Birdland from Weather Report! Wow!
Doesn’t someone have a recording of us from the 70’s?

You Make Me Want To Cry – (Godley & Creme)
Really low volume – careful! Followed by some awesome 80’s songs!

The Meninos Do Morumbi album is the best album I have ever produced, and one that I am immensely proud of on all levels. The contributions of my music friends to help make this a real work of art can not be overstated!
Richard Martinez, and our benefactor John Tu, who together created the Music is Hope Foundation, with the specific goal of benefitting Meninos Do Morumbi’s dream to become self sufficient, have contributed beyond reproach.
Sometimes timing doesn’t work out. Anyone who has been in the music business for any amount of time will attest to that statement! Our plan was to make great music, and encourage all organizations to visit the school in Brazil, and hire the kids to perform and spread the good cheer of Brazilian music and friendship.
Last year (2015), we tried to enter the Meninos & Friends album in the Grammy’s. For some reason, unbeknowst to us, the Grammy people called us at the last moment, and said we should wait a year, and do it properly! Wow! What can I say? I thought we had enough celebrity and reality to deserve a chance in the contest.
So, here we are. One year later. One year wiser. One or two pounds heavier! Will you please have a listen to this awesome album and do everything you can do to help us get noticed this year?
Thanks!
