Puma-22 the "Hollywood Puma" needed a theme song , so I wrote one for him back in 2012 when he first came on the scene in Griffith Park in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
This song was a hit with audiences at NPS Ranger Band shows. I perform it annually at the opening of the P-22 Day Fest on October 22 in LA's Griffith Park. This year's festival will be virtual, so I'm inviting my BandHug wrecking crew to help me put this song into orbit.
A big tip o' the hat the the late great Chuck Berry for inspiration. It's basically Johnny B Goode, with an extra break, verse, and chorus. Backing track is a video I made featuring a home multitrack recording with drum machine (the "Me Myself and I" band). Here are a couple other live versions, to give you a feel for what I've done with it historically.

I want to rock this hard and joyfully, with a couple of flashy instrumental solos in the breaks and some exuberant backing vocals. It's in key of A. There are two breaks. How about a piano solo on the first one and a guitar solo on the second one?

Muchas gracias @Richard Laguna ! You sound good here. Rock n roll!
Surferbeto oh, I see you edited the tracks very well. I'm glad for the invitation and collaborating with you! Greetings everyone is well!
Surferbeto Friend sent the harmonica track from the break time 3:15 if there are details please tell me! Thanks and we keep blowing!
Richard_Laguna And rock hard on the Outro choruses too!
Richard_Laguna I think I want to hear you play a big solo in the second instrumental break (starts about 3:15). I was saving that for a guitar player who hasn't gotten back to me. So it is all for you if you want it. Go big! Get creative! Bring the Rawk from Ciudad de Mexico to Ciudad de Los Angeles!
