Hi Ray,

Hope you had a nice holiday!
I listened to your song 'in progress' and I think it has very nice elements in it.
The nylon, for example, gave me a somewhat melancholic feeling, and I like that.
The other instruments you used could stay, but not the drums.
I didn't like these busy drums. They disturb that melancholic feeling,
And all the time I could hear Judith sing what she wants to say..

From the middlepart of the song I would change the song into a heavier sound.
With heavier guitars that accentuate the chords (one chord per bar), with that busy drum coming in.
Then Judith can sing louder with long outbursts. And that nylon comes back in there at the end.
Just a thought...

I'm pretty sure you won't follow my brilliant advice, so I'm very curious to see what the final song will sound like,
Hans
