Charlie,
Thanks for listening. It's not that I try to come up with different chord progressions, they seem to happen. Glad you liked it.

Greg,
I have to give credit to the wizards at PG for the that Koto - Cello combo. It's in the M_NEWAGK.STY style. Thanks for commenting.

Josie,
Thanks for listening. I'm one of those who feel the melody is the most important part of a song although I try write the best lyrics I can. Thankfully, my wife helps fix my mediocre first drafts.

Tommy,
Thanks. I'm you liked it. I watched videos of people playing the koto to make sure the solo I inserted didn't violate the nature or capability of the instrument. Easy to do when working with midi.

Floyd,
Thanks. The thin high pitch Koto and the deep low pitch of the Cello really fuse east and west. When I heard it in the style I knew it was a keeper.
So glad you enjoyed it,

Guenter,
Thanks for note yesterday. I had my coffee before posting this morning!
I'm glad you liked the haiku idea. You should have seen the look I got when I suggested using it. It was a challenge to mix the Asian rhythm with a western style. That drove some of the instances of two notes to a sylable and the back-heavy delay of the last line of the verse.
