Hi Friends! It has been a looooooong time since I was here. The past 5 or 6 months have been crazy, to say the least. Health issues, crazy work hours, birth of a new grandbaby (yea!), and much more, have kept me away. I hope it's not another 5 months before I am back again!  I just released a new cd, and wanted to share the title track. I shared the un-mastered (un-final-mixed) version sometime back. I hope you enjoy the final, mastered version. All the songs were created and produced using Band In A Box RealTracks and RealDrums. I Found You There (I tried to find a way to link to just the one song, but was unable to figure out how to do it. This is a link to the whole album. Feel free to listen to all of it if you wish - you don't have to purchase to listen to the whole song(s).) I hope to be able to hang around with all of you more now! Steve

Hi Steve. Welcome back! Congrats on the release of your new CD. Is that guitar at the start a realtrack? If so which one? Love the harmonies.

Peter Thanks Peter. I used to love to listen to Dan Fogelberg. I hadn't really connected this song to his influence, but now that you mention it, I can sure see it. Appreciate your kind words. == Steve

Steve,
Your song writing, mixing and your vocals are all top shelf.
This has a very professional polish to it.
I love the message!
Great job on this one.

Hi Steve,
What a beautiful strings arrangment !
Violins and folk guitar are so beautiful played together
It reminds me of a Simon and Garfunkel's song : "like a bridge over troubled water"

Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. Glad you enjoyed it. CD Baby has helped some. I have sold some on CD Baby, and some on iTunes (which they helped me get it on iTunes), and have had quite a number of streams on Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music and others that they connected me to. Steve,
So good to have you back and hoping you can be around here more!
