Esmeralda

I wrote a song. When I lived in San Antonio, Texas, from 2000-2003 I played music professionally in a band initially called E Serenes (The Sirens in Greek) but later changed to E Muzeki (The Music in Greek), along with two amazing souls and musicians, Mark Varelas and Jenny O’Connor. I was mostly assigned bass, but I also was lead vocals and played accompanying guitar and bouzouki as well; I came up with this song on the bouzouki (I remember the moment), but they enhanced it ten-fold by rendering it into a composition and including a verse played by the violin. It is still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
