Far too kind, Marty, but you too know that I appreciate every single kind word you write about my music. I'm so, so glad that a musician like you gets what I'm trying to "achieve", as it were. Thank you.

Hi James,
This is really beautiful to listen to. I love that nylon guitar lead. It fits so perfectly with the reminiscent and nostalgic mood of the song. Waltzes always capture my attention and my imagination. I simply sat back in my chair, closed my eyes and let your musical imagery guide me on this calm, reflective musical journey. It was a very satisfying journey.

Hi Vic, Thanks for listening! I chose the chords, and the idea here was to have a nostalgic, kind of "hiraeth" (in Welsh) piece. The tune wasn't key here, for me ... the meandering was  Thanks for taking the time to hear it, and to comment

The beautiful and original chord progression, acoustic piano and nylon guitar work together like a charm. Very pleasing and relaxing listening experience, like a journey to a blossoming spring garden that smells different every time. Enjoyed very much.

Thanks, Hans! So grateful that you took the time to listen and comment Yes, I thought that leaving it to an instrument would perhaps be better, on this occasion, because it leaves more to the imagination, rather than provide "clarity" through words. So glad, therefore, that you enjoyed it!

Thanks, Herb, appreciated! If you feel like writing like this again, sometime, all I can say is: go for it!!! I know it'll sound great, so ... don't let life stop you from writing music, without music (as Nietzsche wrote), life would be a mistake

I understand very little of the Welsh language, although my grandmother tried her best to get me to speak it when I was a kid.
Then my parents moved up to London and the link was lost. Another thing that never was.

Noel, I'm SO glad you got some joy out of my little effort. That's the aim, anyway ... so I'm happy I seem to have hit the mark here, with you. You're so kind.

Aww, Vic! "Hiraeth", in Welsh, means simply a deep longing for something, someone, or somewhere which never actually was. That was what I was aiming for
