Mike,

I like it better when you gave the harmonica a break and let the other instrument play a while. (what was the second solo instrument, anyway? It sounded like a guitar, but you didn't have any MIDI guitar tracks listed, and it didn't sound like a real track)

You had some pianos listed, but the playing itself used techniques (like vibrato and slid notes) that would be more indicative of a guitar than a piano)

By the way, that is a very realistic harmonica patch! I have a couple of fairly good hardware synths and the harmonica is nowhere near that good!

Thanks for the listen guys, glad you all liked it.
Pat, yes there's a piano and a guitar solo in it, any slide sound you hear probably comes from the guitar background, see below:

I like the intro chords, very interesting. And the harmonica has a wonderful sound like an accordion.

Sweet melody!

much enjoyed!

Mike, I like the melody and the mix a lot on this one. The harmonica really holds it together with the recurring theme. Nice job! Tom

Wow. Great melody on this one. And like
Tommy mentioned the harmonica glues
it all together.

Cool listen. Janice says she can picture
Audrey Hepburn walking along a boulevard.
