Short but poignant
How do you use that word? I mean it in a good way of course! Don't even know why, but to dedicate this song to the citrus grove...put a smile on my face. Your playing is lovely and sounds so effortless. The recording and tuning is a bit rough but that also gives it a very genuine and spontaneous feel. I'm seeing a movie scene with saturated colors somewhere in the South of Italy (Spain rather?). Something about the simplicity of life reflecting in this song?

Thanks for the thoughtful comment,
and nice words. When my Dad was an art teacher in Riverside, California, he rented a small cottage outside of town, in an orange grove. He actually grew up in Ontario, California, and when he said when he was a kid, that town was all orange groves, it is all concrete now. Where I live, we have a couple orange trees and a grapefruit tree. Right now they are in bearing fruit, I find the oranges so nourishing like the fandango. My Dad, had a wonderful book of citrus crate labels, I always loved them, they look kind of like the picture I put up for this song. The music kind of made me think of the paintings of celebration in old California, that I believe were called fandangos, and I think some may have been in Citrus groves. Orange seems to me a social color, as such it is represented in India. I can see this in Italy very much, though!!! Definitely, a put your troubles behind and have fun in the countryside kind of people!!! Yes, rouph and maybe not tuned perfect, but I am glad it works out!!!

Thanks Yemen,...
a similar strumming style to farrucca, but the farrucca is four, this is twelve based on three. I really appreciate the nice words!!!

Thank you,...
very much, memories, and projection into a scenario that once may have existed, a fandango in the groves, that is old califonia celebration in the groves. I little history, the cowboys of california in those days called themselves Californios, and wanted to make california a country of its own. I was in a group called The Californios, quite a few years ago.
