KATY
 By Vinni Smith  Arranged by Gabriel & Dawn Manzo

This song was written by my good friend, Vinni Smith.  Its original title is "Lady Named Katy,"
and was written about Vinni's mother. 
My wife and I really liked the song and its sentiment, so with Vinni's permission, we decided
to put our own spin on it. 
We tinkered with the arrangement a little, and of course, "Latinized" it!
I played the guitar track straight through start to finish, one take, solo included,
prior to any vocal tracks being recorded.  I intended for it to be a "scratch" track. 
Once we had all the rest of the tracks done, I wanted to re-record the guitar track...
but, at the insistence of my wife and Vinni, that never happened!
