I haven't had a chance to post in quite a while, but I finally had time to record a new tune:

Saguaros

This is an instrumental tune. I'm playing clarinet, all else is from the style, and the violin is a soloist.
I am continually fascinated by the Saguaros here in Tucson, and this tune was inspired by those crazy cacti.

I used Logic X to put it together. I'd appreciate any and all comments; I'm very new at using Logic!

Here's the information from the song memo:

great playing! Clarinet is my favorite woodwind instrument i'd say.

Very nice listen Marc. Love the clarinet. This was the first instrument I learned to place. Then the Beatles showed up on Ed Sullivan and the clarinet was traded for a guitar :-). Loved the tune

Marc,

Very relaxing and enjoyable!
I especially like the beginning with the cello leading to your fine clarinet playing.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It is an interesting style; I think there is a lot that can be done with it.

Nice song!

We both love the clarinet and have for many years.

Your arrangement with both your playing and the RT's works very well.

You'll love Logic...been using it for three years or so.

Thanks for posting this!
