Is it possible to get the music notation to Guachi Guara?

[itsthejazzkid]

Hi Doc -My apologies for the reply taking so long--i don't get on this site as much as I'd like to. I do play some --just not professionally --always noice to hear stories from those who enjoyed and had the opportunity to see Dad live- best-Rob

rob , i am 71 y.o. and we used to go a club in L.A. where your dad was featured. we were in med school and we truly enjoyed his music!!! every week, i have to listen to his music and yes, that's how he introduced it Whachi Wado!!!!! are you a musician also??? dr. john

[itsthejazzkid]

Mr. Tjader, I am honored that you say so. Thanks : )

[RCTjader]

Thanks you for acknowleding tyhat it is Cal Tjader. As far as the title goes, You are both right. Correct spelling is Guachi Guara... the original recording has it as Wachi wara --though My dad always called it Whachi Wado on the bandstand...so--go figure..My Dad would enjoy your version--Thanks for covering!.. Rob Tjader--Cal's Son.
