Silent Night Rhumba II
As in the first part of the Silent Night Rhumba lessons it is quite hard for me to play the syncopated rhythm in some kind of an autopilot mode. At least I have been smart enough to start my practice amidst summer. So, I'm confident I will play this rhumba with all the bells and whistles at Christmas.
