A classic blues. A blues who talks about music, love, spirituality.
The master Al Jerome played harmmonica, and I played all the other instruments, sung the vocals, and programmed the digital inputs.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song to be played in a concert to pay tribut to one of the people who taught me more about music. It was his last day in my city, he was moving, and he came to the concert. So I wrote this blues for him.
Lyrics
THIS MINOR BLUES
This is the night, and I can feel
another power above us,
and I can sing and I can see a light
in your eyes, and this is the reason
to begin, to begin to cry.
And when music are in place
I know that I can play
this minor blues.
Piano, please.
And I'm not afraid when I have
this lonely guitar in my hands,
and their strings sound like another
poetry, written for a special time.
And if my music sounds sad
is because my soul today
cannot fly, no, no, no, cannot fly.
But I know the answer
and a tune and it is
this minor blues.
Al Jerome, blow.
Hey bro, lemme say some.
But I know the answer
and a tune and it is
this minor blues
