Hi Everyone ...

The chemo is really kicking my butt, so not doing much singing. But, I've been playing around with a few of the new tracks in BIAB 2016. This is a combination of several genres, I call it Acoustic Gypsy Funk. I've used Country, Bluegrass, Gypsy and Funk tracks and this is what I came up with. Its all acoustic except for the bass line.

Hi Alan.

Sorry you're still suffering, but hang in there - I'm sure it'll get easier. Our thoughts are with you.

Hey, loved the track! Reading the list of styles I wasn't sure how this was going to work, but it does and it works well. The track has a really good feel to it - it romps along and just carries you with it.

Good chord sequence, good choice of RTs and a great mix to top it off.

Hope your health soon improves.

I couldn't say it any better than that - so a big plus one Alan!

Fantastic choice of style blending, and what a great delivery!

Excellent, in fact.

Hope you're on the up-and-up real soon.

Hi Everyone ...

Thanks to all who have commented so nicely. And thanks for the well-wishes ...I appreciate them more than you could know.

I would reply to each of you individually, as I always do, but I'm just too danged tired and sick to do do. Di would reply but she had a stroke a couple of years ago and typing is very, very difficult for her. Thanks for understanding.

I swill visit you as I can. After 30 minutes, or so, at the computer, I've done all I can.

Thanks again! Looking forward to hearing as much of your music as I can. Best to all ...

Alan (and Di)

Really excellent mix of styles and you can well hearding to them.
Well done. Pleasant listening. Great guitar.

Sergio

Thanks so much, Sergio!

Alan. So sorry you are going through that. Glad that biab can lift your spirits. Love gypsy.

Hi Alan and Di,

This is pure class! You've put together an outstanding presentation! Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. I wish I had your sense of musicianship! You really know your stuff!!!

Totally enjoyed it.
Noel

P.S. I was sorry to read that chemo is taking its toll. I've had a number of friends and family experience it and its tough going for sure. Hang in there *sending lots of southern hemisphere good-health thoughts*

Rog said it all and exactly mirrors our thoughts. Like him just reading the RT's would
never lead one to think just how well they would end up complementing each other.

Well done. We enjoyed it immensely and best to you!!!

J&B

Thanks Joanne ...

Glad you enjoyed it. And I appreciate the well wishes. Wishing you the best ...

Alan

Hi Noel ...

Thanks so much. High praise coming form a musician of your expertise. If my musicianship were half as good as yours, I'd be tickled pink! But thanks for that compliment!

Wishing you and yours the very best.

Thank you so much Janice & Bud! Always a pleasure to hear from you. I appreciate those kind words o much! Best to both of you ...

Alan

Hope you're on the mend soon Al. Hang in there. Take care. Greg
