Introduction...

Hello and welcome.

This is a blog dedicated to music.  I've been working on originals and covers over the past few years. So each post on this blog will be a home-made recording of a song.  A song will feature myself and, at times, other local musical friends from my home area of Eastern Long Island.

This project, Chilero, is the progression of music after doing a bunch of songs in a thing I called, "The Esteli Balcony Covers Series"... which was recorded on a wonderful and amazing balcony while living in Nicaragua.

This is what the setup was like back then. Acoustic guitar, tascam portable studio, and two fold-up chairs.  Fifteen parts were recorded and were featured on my blog called "of Nicaragua"... Here was the address to that site... estelicentral.blogspot.com

Anyway, now the setup for Chilero is different. In a basement, and not a balcony.  I guess location-wise it's not much of a progression, but more of a regression... hah

A bit more high tech now... as you can see.

And like a chef might instruct you on his preferred way the food should be eaten, to properly obtain all the flavors in the best way, I would recommend using anything but laptop speakers to hear these songs (I watch a ton of "Chopped", the best show on the Food Network, and TV for that matter, hence the chef comparison)... Speakers on laptops are the worst. The way I recorded it would sound best with headphones... but whatever you wish to do, it's just a suggestion.

So each week I'm going to be posting at least one recording, either original or some form of a cover, on this blog.  Save this site, follow it, and check back if you are interested in listening to an ever-expanding repertoire of songs.  

Thanks for your attention!

Enjoy...
