About this song, "You Never Say Goodbye":
Is a heartfelt country ballad that captures the bittersweet emotions of love, loss, and the promises we make even when we have to part ways. With soul-stirring lyrics and a melody that lingers long after the song ends, this track speaks to anyone who has ever struggled to let go. Whether it’s a love that was never meant to fade or a memory that refuses to be forgotten, "You Never Say Goodbye" reminds us that some connections are too strong to ever truly end. [Gabe C.]
Another new country song! The final mix is done and can be heard on most music platforms, as of today on Spotify for sure. The vocalist is Jessica from Nashville TN ... it's called, "The Only One" (Always)
This slow ballad on the right was released on Oct 06, 2025, on most music platforms/apps ... and recorded with the vocalist, Mia; produced by my son, Gabe Carmona. Lyrics by Mike Carmona and Gabe Carmona
This ranchera was on a tape given to me by Humberto Maltos, formerly with the Brown Express group. It was originally done with a 'live' conjunto recording; I rearranged with a MIDI band sound, and the lyrics and composer still unknown. Any of you heard this song before?

Mike Carmona: My music life can be summarized in three instruments, one music workstation, and the guidance from my dad. ​The trumpet was my first instrument, and I played it in my growing up years with my dad's orchestra. As a teen I played it with my brother's band, and with Manuel Donley Y Las Estrellas.
​
​​At 21 we were living in California, and I got drafted into the Army. By some miracle I got into the 59th Army band and after four months of band training I got sent to the Canal Zone, Panama - assigned to the 79th Army Band.
​
​When I used to play the trumpet with Manuel Donley, I used to sit right next to the drummer, Emilio Villegas. He was so good that I used to look at his tejano drumming style and technique. That might have been for a future lesson. Music works in a mysterious way they say! ​ You see, when we got to California it was hard finding tejano musicians, especially good drummers, and guitar players. None around back then. Keyboard players? Non-existent.
​
​​In 1969 I got into an auto accident and couldn't play the trumpet anymore, so my dad bought me a set of drums and then said, "We can't seem to find good tejano drummers, so, you have a week to learn them because we got gig in Sacramento ... and you are playing the drums."​ ​
Thanks for visiting ... do come back folks!
