Dani, good song. I think this is one of your best. Great mix and I love the vocal. When you hit those low notes I feel it all the way down to my toes!

Hi Dani,
very interesting chord progression
and very well sung.
I can't help: for me the guitar solo
is totally out of tune. On purpose?

Thank you Trevor for your
most kind words ! You are right,
writing, or rather playing around
with chords trying to construct
something rational has really
helped me back on track again !:))
Cheers

Hi Dani...
This is a great tune! So soft and mellow. It reminds me of something Mel Torme might have written and recorded. All the instruments are so mellow and laid back. And your voice is perfect for this ... exceptionally good! We're still smiling a while after we listened. Very, very nice! Thanks for a super nice listen.

Guenter you rascal !!!
You just had to notice my electric 12-string out of tune. Well, there's a perfectly sound explanation for that:
.....''''''''.....'.................................It IS out of tune!!
because the strings (2 x 0.08 to 2 X ?) are shot and the last time I tried to re-string it myself I wound up cutting my fingers to ribbons with the ends of the strings.
Maybe I can talk Dani into reposting after I freshen the thing up?
However, thanks for the instructive comment - the Forum can always use more of these, because in the end they lead to improvement.
Dean
