Zombies in Paradise: Playing Music in Puerto Rico

One of the great things about living in Puerto Rico and Rincón specifically is that it is just overflowing with creative, talented and fun-loving people. Britton has been playing bass and guitar for over 20 years and so he was invited to come jam music with some friends. I tagged along just to watch.

Well, over time one thing led to another. I began tapping and clapping, then chiming in with a tambourine or maracas and then was handed the mic and started singing and then writing songs! Here’s one of the songs I wrote. An original that we put together as a band, it’s called ApoCalypso: Zombies in Paradise. It’s still in its infancy as we make some adjustments and try to tighten up the timing and changes, but it’s coming together. Playing music has been such a fun, creative outlet.
