Chega De Saudade  by Antonio Carlos Jobim, was the original bossa nova hit that started the movement.   The English lyrics to this song,  also called, No More Blues, were written by Jon Hendricks.   This is my version,  recorded and mixed by guitarist Mike Doolin.

Natalia K Burgess - Northwest Romance - 04 - Bei Mir Bist Do Schon

I wrote this song as an ode to chord changes that give me aesthetic chills and to those timeless memories that attach themselves to your favorite songs.    I play piano and mandolin on it.   EDB Recording Studio ( Warren, MIch) and my old neighbor, Ericole DiBerardo helped get me started on it and MIke Doolin, in Portland, OR helped me complete it.
