Default Blue Monkey (original)

This is a bit different than my usual stuff

I wrote this little ditty whilst in Spain last October and it is inspired by and named after a bar on the Carabassi Beach, Gran Alacant where we spend quite a lot of time as you may know - Gran Alacant not the bar, although we do enjoy the odd cocktail there

The tune has been knocking about for quite a few months now so I thought I would do something with it and put it against photos to help you get a feel of the happy vibe. We see the bar at the start and end of the 'holiday season' as you can see from the photos. Late July and August is too busy for us.

Hope you like it

Hi Phil,

That was nice! Very nice playing and some very nice video in there. It is a very happy song and Carabassi Beach looks like a very pleasant place!

Thanks for that!

- Glenn
