It's been a while since I wrote something new and New Beginning took a year to bring to life. After a long stay in the hospital I asked Mark Goldberg to help me out, what a pleasant surprise to hear his addition to the song. Thanks Mark & Alberto too

Story behind the song
It's been a while since I wrote something new and New Beginning took a year to bring to life. During January 2020 I was in a coma for 12 days, awoke, and didn't even know where I was. Eventually, I was sent home and found I lost a lot of my memory, I couldn't even use a cell phone. But in April 2020 I forced myself to start relearning how to use my music programs again, mostly by watching YouTube videos, and began writing this song. Bass and keyboards came back to me quickly but to this day I can't get my hand to figure out guitar. I had come up with a catchy guitar melody and did not want to make this another MIDI project so I got a hold of Venturesome to help me out. I sent him the score with the chords and melody notation and he sent me back a cool rhythm guitar, then the melody, and finally a solo to complete the song. The song captures the feel of the Southern California Coastline with a breezy light Latin Jazz flow, Mark lived near the Coast also and brought that sensation into the song. I hope you will enjoy the song, it truly is a New Beginning for me...
