Graham,

That accordion is very cool and the song is very atmospheric.
Makes us think of James Last and very famous German orchestra.
Good work.

Hi Graham,

I always love the soft, gentle touch you have on the keys of your accordion. Such a beautiful song. I've always waltzes (love to dance to them) and yours are among the best I've heard.

Everything sounds great to me! Thanks for this little gem.

Alan

Graham,

Very nice tone on those twin accordions make for subtle interplay. I like a slow, slightly sad waltz- this one floats the listener along and the mix sounds good.
Can your internet radio show be heard in Canada?

Graham,

This is very restful. A perfectly romantic modern waltz. I'm sitting here with my eyes closed enjoying my listen and, inside my mind, slowly dancing around a ballroom.

Regards,
Noel

Wow Graham - this is a beautiful tribute! It's a wonderful tune you've got here. It's gentle, and really easy on the ears. It brings to mind imagery of weddings, and dancers in a ballroom. As always, what you've done with the accordion here is spectacular.

Great work, and thank so much for sharing smile

Sorry to hear about your friend's loss. Always so sad when things like that happen. You've made such a lovely song for her, though! You should be proud of yourself! I am sure she loves what you made for her. smile I certainly do!

Beautiful.

My favorite accordionist did it again!

Another winner my friend!

This is a keeper.

PS - A waltz is the only dance that I can do!
