From day one, everything felt just right. A soft wind arose and kinda pushed me home. I grabbed my guitar and said: let's play, you take me wherever you want. Off we went. I was a kid, and my little recording studio became an orchard, many fruits hanging from the trees. They spoke to me, saying: pick us, we're soul food! A nice melody here, over there a pounding rhythm, sweet harmonies everywhere. Leaves waving, nudged by a gentle breeze, telling me stories. All I had to do was write them down. Oh boy, something sure stirred up some ghosts for me. They whispered: let it happen. It's magic. The sky was clear, and when storms passed, the trees in my orchard were malleable. I played along, collecting and preparing the food, arranging the table, embracing the mystery. This is how the songs came about. Mario PLAY was written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed December '22 thru August '23, mission accomplished by Mario. Tim Hoefer did the Mastering.
