Tributo a Johnny Pacheco 

MI NEGRA MARIANA Alex Diaz & SON DE LA CALLE 2022

Tequila Por Aqui (Tequila Over Here)

It was just another party. I was feeling all alone. I was sitting on the stairway you were standing by the phone. The gang was in the kitchen laughing and drinking beer. I took a chance, asked you to dance, you wouldn't let me near. Ain't we all here to have a good time? Ain't we all here to look and find something in the eyes of a stranger?

EYES OF STRANGER

Beautiful Flowers by Charles Becker Oct 2015
Verse
The whole congregation rose to it’s feet, never they’d seen a bride so lovely, so sweet.
But there was a fellow in the last seat , who couldn’t stand up, his knees were too weak.
And all of the flowers lie at her feet, beautiful flowers trampled beneath.
Verse
They were young lovers, met at sixteen, beautiful flowers so fresh and so green.
Now comes the hour of she has to go , beautiful flowers together won’t grow.
Chorus
Beautiful flowers that lie at her feet beautiful flowers trampled beneath. 
(Instrumental chord progressio/solo)
Verse
He sat for hours staring at the floor, down burnt the candles, the wind blew in the door.
And all the flowers that lie at his feet, beautiful flowers trampled beneath.
Chorus
Beautiful flowers that lie at our feet beautiful flowers trampled beneath.

Stay On Board

ALL ALONE and ALL ALONE
by Charles Becker 2017
Verse
She’s gone and I’m a goner , all alone I guess I’ll be.

She left California for Nashville Tennessee, and I’m all alone. All alone & all alone.

And I know I’ve wandered, way too far from home.

Verse

I got the feeling this time I went to far, I’m flat broke in Hollywood & I’m not a counry star.  

And I’m all alone, All alone & all alone. 

And I know I’ve wandered, way too far from home.

Verse

I thought that I forgot her but I guess that I was wrong- so i walked into an old dark bar 

to hear a country song and I was all alone. All alone & all alone.

And I know I’ve wandered, way too far from home.

Fiddle solo

Verse

“Do you come here often” is what she said to me. She big brown eyes and long brown 

hair and as far as I could see, she was all alone. All alone & all alone.

So I asked her for a dance and later I walked her home.
Another Fiddle solo
Verse

We walked along the shady grove and strolled up to her home. 

She asked in and opened the door and I could see that we were all alone.

All alone and all alone.

And I know I’ve wandered, way too far from home.
We were,
All alone and all alone. All alone and all alone. All alone and all alone.

All Alone & All Alone

LAGRIMAS NEGRAS TG'S 3_31_07

Songs in a country style, sung with a country feeling. Singer/Songwriter Charlie Becker, plays the guitar and sings about life in America; Getting drunk, dancing all night, the 4th of July , the girl next door, being alone, the sun rising every darn day… are all themes in Mr Becker’s music. Easy to the ear and always at the perfect volume.
