Enjoyed listening Carl...sure didn't hear any "finger stumbling"..everything so nice and clear as a bell. The string-rich texture was very pleasing. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Very relaxing, Carl. I like the way your guitar leads but with various instruments interweaving, subtlely.
I’m interested in the song title - what that means and its relationship to the music?
Well done.
Andrew

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Tom - thanks a lot for taking a listen and for your very nice comments,
very pleased the painful fingers didn't show too much, it's a pain getting
old and still wanting to make music!
Really glad you enjoyed it,
Best, Carl

Hi Andrew - thanks a lot for your comments and for taking a listen,
as you mentioned the interweaving of instruments & sounds are like
a Celtic Knot - to me the gentleness of Celtic Music has deep echoes
of interconnectedness and things eternal (without wanting to get too
spiritual!). I have celtic blood to some extent - born in Denmark many
moons ago, lived in the UK since 1968 incl 6 months in Scotland.
In the UK we used to enjoy a beautiful TV series called 'Transatlantic
Sessions' (YT?) which also had an influence - early experience in a
church choir also helped to shape my ears for 'chords & melody'!
Really pleased you found it relaxing,
Best, Carl

Carl, super tune, and really well played. Superb arrangement, too. Great touch and tone on the guitar. Love your piano work and how you wove the BiaB sounds seamlessly into your live playing.

Thanks a lot David - super glad you approved,
I was aware of the loud string squeaks and was
ready to purchase RX11 incl Guitar De-Noise -
unfortunately it turned out that my OS is too old
and I'd have to update it with all the accompanying
software chaos, so I had a go at reducing most
of the squeaks! Hope it's now a bit kinder on the ears!
Thanks for taking a listen,
Best Carl,

Hi, Carl. It's not Sunday, but I missed ya, man. Right from the first two chords you captured the Celtic flavor, and from there made it your own as if you invented the style so long ago --in France when it was pronounced Seltics. haha Man, I love your style, touch and and taste with those old fingers. Perfect choice of instruments to accompany those golden digits of yours.
This one was too short for a Carl Morgensen tune, but it was as beautiful as ever. Thanks.

Marty - your warm and genuine comments always give great encouragement,
being a Dane by birth (so viking blood) combined with early church choir singing
and 6 months living in Scotland (1969-70) might have something to do with any
celtic influence? Couldn't sing a note now if I tried (I wish) so I rely on what's left
in these old fingers to let the emotions flow - celtic music always has had a strong
sense of mood & feelings to me (Transatlantic Sessions), a simple chord sequence
can spring alive with a sweet melody on top - it's what I strive for, really chuffed you
approved Marty!! Thanks so much,
Carl

Carl, your professionalism really shines on this song.
Super fiddle was icing on the cake.
Outstanding song.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Thanks a lot Mario - your approval always very welcome,
can't get that fiddle out of my head - BB is AMAZING!!
Hope you're maintaining great improvement in your
fingers!
As a guitar player you might struggle at times with STRINGS SQUEAKS -
this guy shows how to fix it with Fabfilter Pro MB multi band compressor:

I'm just starting to learn this very useful fix - not cheap at £144, but luckily I happen to have it already,
have a great weekend Mario,
Carl

Beautiful and fine arrangements. The fingering sounds of strings only goes, that it's has been played by a real person and not a machine! It didn't disturb me from enjoying your lovely tune. One famous folk music producer has said, that if there isn't any mistakes in a recording, it's not authentic.

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
