Tropical Hold

Story Behind The Song

In concept, a lot of 'hold' music is very short and overly repetitive and makes you feel like you've been on hold forever. After one such experience I put this medley together, figuring that 7 1/2 minutes was hopefully long enough for anyone to be on hold, but if they were at least the time would seem to go quicker listening to some south of the border jams.

Song Description
