(both recorded with Reaper and mixed in Audacity). Unfortunately, the background piano did not mesh very well with my Vst but the options were fairly limited. That said, I don't think the result is too ghastly

Brian,
This piece has a really nice gentle flow. I didn't mind the piano at all. Your Takamine sounds great in the mix.
Enjoyed!

Brian, I enjoyed listening to this. You've really made the style shine. The bckgrd piano sounds fine to me. There was a cymbal accent at about 1.30 and at 2.10 (i don't' know what it's called technically), but it's very nice transitional element--I usually try to do this in MIDI. Thanks for posting, great work!

That accent seems to come standard with the Salsa/Bolero drum style: An even 8th modern Cuban Bolero style with a Salsa approach.
Ideal tempo = 105 BPM

So well done, Brian. It had me swaying in the breeze. The piano is fine, and those guitars are perfect. Love the Latin style --and genre, and your brought a shine to this one.

Brian, super groove on this one
Outstanding guitar chops!
I didn't mind the piano and if you hadn't mentioned I wouldn't even thought about it.
Great mix
A super cool song

Quite a nice song, Brian! Reminds me of Earl Klugh's lyrical nylon string mastery. Nuthin' wrong with the piano IMHO. Super composition/arrangement, and the mix has everything where it should be. Most importantly (for me), the song has both a theme and a narrative flow that make it enjoyable listening. Superb job!

Beautiful! Took me flying to a land far, far away, where everything is beautiful and unspoilt. Did not notice any problems with the piano. Bravo!

Cool laidback Sunday-listening track. Really nice instrumentation, arrangement and production.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Brian,
A very enjoyable listen.
Good arrangement and production. Nicely mixed.

Thanks, TM. When I get some more free time I might add some lyrics.

As others stated, the piano works just fine. This piece is quite nice. The nylon string guitar is expertly played.
