Description : Blues? Well, it has blues ingredients. I'm just triggering a Persian Santoor and a Chinese Guzheng Zither over Lotus drums and cymbals.
Named for the slowest pitcher in baseball.

Simply astonishing blues visionary and inspirational...I'm still shaking my head in disbelief of how good Betancourt is. Much clapping and bowing in not worthiness yampaja. Thank you for making the download available

Trust me your sense of space and phrasing make this like a prequel to Robert Johnson or blues from the future it's very special and I'm playing it all the time still shaking my head, wow!!

H,
It's not that good is it? Really it was an accident.
My best stuff is accidental or serendiptitous. Hmmm
Not sure.
Thanks for the review,

have you seen that documentary about a zen monastery football team?
arr, i can't remember the name of it but that's where this is taking me and i will find it and report back. A totally gorgeous track.

j.a., brother i'm late to table, slower than Betancourt on the uptake - my compensation is there's lots more to explore on this page

Sweet track, I really like the pace of this one. Nice percussion and minimal drums, it really opens up the track. This is really nice, thanks for sharing this gem!

On the baseball side of things, is that pitcher slower than the Red Sox's knuckleballer Tim Wakefield? lol!

Thanks Wayne,
The drums definitely drove this one.
Yea, Wakefield is really slow too.

Description : One by One is a song of praise, gratitude and surrender to the Most High. It celebrates God's goodness, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the freedom and new identity we receive through Him. With every blessing counted and every heart bowed in worship, we offer our sacrifice of praise and give all glory to the Lord.
