Thanks for the holiday

Lovely tune Graham

Ahhhh, I drifted straight into somewhere in Waikiki

Very relaxing, you've really got the hang of that instrument.

Really nice

Trev

Thanks Rob, at least it was a free one

I love the tonality of this one, furry It definitely had my swaying in my seat. Makes me think of sandy peaches and palm trees.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks Scott

Nicely composed piece. Very relaxing. I just need a hamock and a pina colada to complete my Hawaiian mind trip. Well done.

Thanks Rob & Scott

Cheers Trev, yeah it's really coming together as far as learning goes, had a load of help from Troy Brenningmeyers lessons, but mostly I've been battling on myself

Thanks Sam, don't fall outta the hammock LOL

By the way if anyone wants to write lyrics, please feel free and I'll get them mixed in to see what they sound like

Hi, Graham !

sweet tune !
Loved it !

Cheers
Dani

Thanks for the comment Dani

Dear "furry"...

After listening (dream-like and floating) to "The Hanauma Bay Lullaby", I think that you should change your forum "handle" to "Beachcomber", or something to that effect .

Wow...the tempo was as sweet and slow as honey dripping, the RealTrack backing instruments choices were organic and lush-sounding, and the chord change that occurred around 0:55 added an unexpected tension that was gorgeously resolved. The sound effects completed the musical picture.

May I ask what was that chord (if it's not a secret, that is!)?

From Scottish reels to Hawaiian lullabies...hmm-mm, something tells me that you have a wandering musical soul. Lead on! And may I tag along?

Sincerely,

LOREN

P.S. What was the melody instrument, and were you the person performing on it?

Hi Lauren, what a beautiful comment and I thank you sincerely.
The melody instrument is the Lapsteel guitar, which I started playing just a few months ago and yes I was the one playing it. The chord is possibly CM at the end of the first part ?

You're welcome to tag along !!

Hard to best the above. Perfectly stated.

Tailor made for film....

Hauntingly beautiful.

We enjoyed the spin!

Thanks for the nice comments J & B wish I COULD get somebody to record for a film. Love to retire with a good sized bank book LOL

Hi Graham,

Another beautiful offering from you. Love the sublimity of this Made me think of the old movie "Blue Hawaii" with Elvis.

Very, very nice! You always have something a little different for us ... I like that! Wishingf you well,

Alan
