+++ THIS +++ is a loose interpretation of Dust In The Wind that I call Dusty Wind.

I used some audio loops from Acoustic Sessions by Producer Planet and RealTracks and RealDrums listed in the screen shot below. I used V3 of the Band-in-a-Box PlugIn in Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Jim,
Solid bed for acoustic pop rock tune. I like the mood change at 1:12. I think electric guitar parts can come up a bit. Clear mix & listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Jim ...

Always great to hear a new post from you - they're kind of scarce!

Super clean, well-mixed piece. A nice, easy and very pleasant listen! Can't find a thing to gripe about - nada!

Cool song!

Take care & Merry Christmas ...

Alan

Hello Jim, nice full acoustic on this song!
I agree with Stefan, this songs neeeeeds vocals.
And I also agree with Misha, pullup the electric guitar as well, exept for the last beat.

So, very nicely done. I enjoyed it,
Hans

Yeah, dust in the wind. This is like after the dust clears this mix is so good. And, yes, I too can hear 3-part harmony voices. Really well done, Jim.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Great to hear one from you Jim!

First, forgive me please but I must confess that Dust was the first song I had to learn in fingerpicking guitar lessons in Nashville and man how I hated it at the time. LOL!
Your loosely based version is much prettier and not nearly as depressing.
Enjoyed it very much.

Very well put together and mixed!! Nice, emotional tune.....I can hear the influence of the original but would not have made the comparison if I wasn't listening for it. Come around more often! Merry Xmas!! Take care. Greg

I think this might be the first song I've heard from you, Jim!

Nice arrangement, hints at the original but takes it to a new place.

Enjoyed, well done!

That sounds good Jim!
Just enough slight chord variations and rhythmic differences to make it your own! Take care, Torrey
