I put 2 vocal tracks, I hope they are good because this song has a very high tone!

Mauricio - that's outstanding nice work!. On the second backing track at 55 seconds, there's two loud clicks. You can see this in DAW mode. Likely an easy fix.

@Revup67: I cut out the spot where it seemed to be making that noise. I hope it's better this way!

Added organ. Timing may need to be adjusted on both keyboard parts.
