I just uploaded 2 songs I just finished. The 1st is an original. "Small Fry" with Dan O'hara on keys. I met him briefly last year, he heard the song twice & recorded 2 tracks to it. (1 take each..amazing) The 2nd is "Last Dance" by Donna Summer. I heard her sing it on New Years eve. I have always wished she sang the whole thing as a ballad. I never played it before, but just knew I could, after hearing it so many times. I downloaded a midi file & tore it apart. I changed the bass & strings & deleted the drums. I'm doing the sax & flutes on the Synthophone. If you care to listen... Small Fry & Last Dance Happy New Year to all! Mick

Mick, very tasty stuff, thanks for sharing. Have to admit you nailed "Last Dance", so sweet and so melodic. Your version sounded even better than original ( no disco ball needed for this tune  ).

Mick,
Last Dance was absolutely stunning. Loved the arrangement, licks and the counter melody parts, Wowza !!! First Class production brother. What did you use for the Sax patch? It sounds excellent.

Wasn't that Sax-patch a Sax?? Or I am missing somthing? 
Nevermind, I get it now, with a little help from Google.

Thanks for listening guys. Glad you enjoyed. The sax patch was "KennyGee" on the VL70m. The patch was created by Matt Traum owner of Patchman Music.

Pro all the way!
I really liked “Last Dance” played at that tempo. Super!
“Small Fry” was also very good!
Great chops man!

As per your usual real good stuff Mick. Liked Small Fry but man oh man what you did with Last Dance was superb. I have heard the intro played as a ballad many times before but never the entire tune, ya nailed it ma friend!
Later,

Hi Mick,
There's nothing I can add to the above. The tracks were excellent. "Last Dance" really wrings teardrops from the heart.
Stunning work, Noel
