It was on the list of songs to choose from, I already knew the words in Spanish (yes, I even know what they mean), and it took one or 2 passes to get it down.
People loved it.
Oh, and we won the battle & individual awards. 3 songs; $2,600. I wish every gig was like that! Would have retired 10 years sooner!
