Performance Notes
-----------------
Hard to hear what's going on when you listen to the record, but this is  as close to the

real thing it gets. As always there are a lot of things going on(variations etc.),

especially in the end. Whenever Martin Mendez as always plays different variations in the

song, you should do that to(whatever pops up in your mind - play it)! But for those who

want to follow the record straight, here it is, dig in!
