Hello everyone, here is another tune written again by my good friend Marinus Vandertogt. Marinus refers to this as his "sailing song" and after you hear it you will know why. The drums,bass and some keyboard parts were done with BIAB. Alesis Q8 was also used for some patches. The tune is done in the Hank style of playing and the lead guitar is a strat. I hope you have as much enjoyment listening as I had playing it. Here it is:

Hi Nels,

This is a very engaging composition and arrangement. I just sat back, closed my eyes, listened, and floated away on the music.

Congratulations to you and Marinus.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Nels,

Is there any way you could put your songs on SoundClick or SoundCloud maybe? Or any one of the other popular music hosting sites.... I don't mean to be forward in asking ..... but I've yet to be able to hear any of your music and I have tried several times.

Thanks for considering it.

Hi Josie, before I do that can you tell me what is happening when you click on the links? There could be several things that are causing this. Maybe I can help. What browser are you using?

The original link works fine here.

Great song. I love your guitar tone, it brings back some great memories of the late 60’s sound. Super chops also. Great mix.

Two thumbs up.

Ditto. Really nice, laid back playing style. It felt like we had all the time in the world there. Thanks.
