Not much time for composing lately, seem to spend so much time with my radio shows. Here's one I composed some time ago

A few years ago I was introduced to a dear friend in Norway who was Originally from Inverness. Alex Cullum. Alex was a chef to trade. He called us his adopted family and sadly we never had a chance to meet him. He DID have the chance to hear this tune before he died and he loved it.....The Alex Cullum Waltz

Style is JEAN.STY (Simple Pop Country Swing Waltz)

RealTracks in song: ~1178:Bass, Electric, PopWaltz Ev 120
RealTracks in song: 2865:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CelticSlowWaltzDave Ev 100

Wish I had a dance floor near me, I drag my partner out for a spin.

Love your playing.

Well done.

I liked this a lot, thanks for sharing Graham. Peaceful to listen to, I can close my eyes and see the Scottish Highlands when I listen - nice work smile

Lovely stuff.
The mittens keep you playing and you're playing is wonderful.
Lovely melody too.
Have you seen/heard this amazing machine?...

Loved that melody Graham. I agree with Derek. The minute it started I was thinking Scottish Hylands. Beautiful

Hi Graham ...

I have to agree with all that has previously been said about your wonderful song. I know I've told you this before, but I think it warrants repeating: You are my favorite accordionist. Your music is always heart-warming and such a treat! Thank you for once again making my ears smile!

Wishing you & yours everything good. Be safe ...

Alan

Thanks Ray, I've heard of this machine. You can do the same with any accordion fully fitted with midi.
