                                                            The Piano CD
Recording was basically premixed percussion with a Spanish guitar at the background as fill-in. Originally recorded on eight-track then
reduced to stereo two-tract with some cross-overs for live-like effects. The piano: in some pieces where piano sound was mixed with
guitar and harp, was played in the center. Technically bass was enhenced to about 2dB above the normal level to give the 'punch' for
people who enjoy easy listening music at low volume. For those who like to play loud music, or when played in a noisy enviroment like
parties, the base (typically between 100 to 400 Hertz), should be reduced by half depending on the amplification of bass of the system.
Mini-compos, for example, usually produce extremely colorful sounds so the bass should be reduced to avoid distortions.

La Gloria eres Tu   was originally played by LSR on the guitar in the same fashion; the rolling effect here is rarely used by pianists.
Asi Bailaba Cuba    is a potpourri of three extremely popular Cuban tunes of the 40s and the 50s, namely En el sendero de mi vida,
                                 Lagrimas negras and Veinte años
.
Aquellos Ojos Verdes is a typical harp-guitar way of playing Latin music, perhaps a little closer to the Paraguayan than the Venezuelan style.
Tigi-tigi
                    was the first composition LSR endeavoured in the mid-60s, played for the first time in a school party with his guitar.it                                       has never been written but played elsewhere.
Baile/Piel Canela    is another potpourri of Cha-cha. The first part was a piece composed by LSR for guitar playing in the late 80s,                                          the second half is a very popular song by Bobby Capo- Piel Canela.
