"Hit The Ground" a Hook original (on the Tres)

[sing?]

This worked for me on every level. I especially liked your voice and the feel of the song. Excellent.

Great song Hook. Very well played.

I had to look up what a "Tres" was. Thought it was maybe a short scale guitar or a steel by the sound of it.

Either way - I think it sounds fine recorded. You can always mic it up if you use it live.

You certainly have a unique voice and the music your producing sounds different from the crowd and thats what matters these days. Great production.

Nice one, very original sound with great lyrics.    Willie

I love the sound, love the song. I'm going through all your tres songs now.

Here is a photo of me, 21 years ago, in Havana, fucking around with a tres, trying to make sense of the tuning.

Fifteen minutes after I left this restaurant it hit me – how to adapt some guitar chord shapes to the tuning of the tres. But the opportunity was gone.

I thought about buying a tres in Cuba, but I wisely did not. US Customs and Immigration nailed me when I passed through the US Virgin Islands, and they took (almost) all of my souvenirs. I watched them pour out my rum into big garbage bins. They let me keep my music CDs – which I still have. The rum and cigars would be long gone by now.

Also: I still have that hat and fanny pack – here in Madagascar.
