Lonelyt Is The NightDi just got home from almost three weeks in the hospital, so I've not had much time for music creation and novel writing. I didn't have a chance to reply to the last 2 or 3 comments on my previous song before it slipped off of page 1. I really don't want to claw it back to the front page as there is so much great music on page1 that deserves more listens and comments. But please know I have read them and appreciate the nice comments. This is another quick afternoon throw-together - nothing real special, but it's all I have right now. Here are my partners in crime: File:Lonely Is The Night.SGU Key=Am , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=3:23 Style is _CALMA.STY (Calma Bossa Folk Ballad Quartet) RealTracks in style: 3119:Bass, Acoustic, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1903:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Bolero Ev 090 RealTracks in song: ~1103:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: ShakerEven8ths RealTracks in song: ~2200:Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: BongosEv8 RealDrums in Song:BossaLewis^01-a:Brushes HiHat , b:Brushes Swirl HiHat

Love it Alan - very beautiful ‘calma bossa’ mood, and the title combined
with Di being away in hospital this piece sounds like a reflection
of you being without her for 3 weeks, so glad to hear she’s back home
again and hopefully recovering really well!!!!
A quick afternoon throw-together - well it’s amazing what can be done
in BB when you know how, and you certainly have the skills!!
Thanks for posting - wishing you both well,
Carl

Nothing special?? I would say it is very special. It's beautiful and touching. Full of wistful longing, uncertainty and hope.

Alan, know I've said versions of this many times, but you coax the BEST performances out of BiaB instrumentalists, and they always sound STUNNINGLY present. And this is no exception. Lovely acoustic journey here, especially enjoyed the guitar interplay. Fab arrangement and mix. FUN listen, too! Best to you and Di.

3 WEEKS!! Give Di a big hug for us, Alan. I agree with ya about Bumping to the Top. Man, this is such a fine performance. WHat a cool feel and the mix is just perfect. A quick-afternoon throw together? Yeah, man, nobody can do an afternoon like you, Alan.

Alan, I always know I’m in for a treat when I see your name pop up. This is so very relaxing and provides a great opportunity to slow down and rest from whatever your troubles may be. You are a master of these instrumentals and of what can be achieved from this software. Bravo!

Hi, Ron, I think you have a goal of making me blush with your always-appreciated kindness to my music. You always - always - make me feel so danged good about my music with your comments. I appreciate that more than you know. Thank you so much. Alan

Hi, Alan.
It's a treat to hear anything from you!
It's not easy to get a cohesive instrumental from BiaB, but you've done a stellar job here.

Nicely done as per usual, Alan!
I agree with other comments here, no one is better than you at getting great performances from BIAB.
Best to you and Di, hope she is doing a little better now.

Alan, another beautiful exploration of a style I love: bossa nova.
All the best to you and your wife, from a Norman in the rain.

"This is another quick afternoon throw-together - nothing real special"
Alan, if that's the case, I'm so far behind!
This is a lovely, moving piece!
The folks at PG Music must be thrilled to have someone like you posting these gems in the forum!
You and Di are in my thoughts and prayers during this challenging time for you both!
Be strong and keep encouraging us with your wonderful arrangements! TB

Alan, if this is an example of "This is another quick afternoon throw-together" I would really love to hear what you could do with a lot more time! However I know that you have much more important things to deal with right now.
Super song and mix
Loved it

Yeah, once a song falls off the front page, I always hesitate to claw it back, with rare exceptions. Well, I enjoy my afternoons when I have some time for music. Sure do appreciate all those nice comments! Best to you, my friend. Alan
