Good to see you back, Mike.

Your compositions are always good - well thought out.

I did not really care for the sound of the guitar. It had a "space-y" sound that did not fit with the "organic" sound of everything else. But the melody was good...

Welcome back!

I really liked the grooves and the backing tracks. But like Floyd I did not really care for the guitar tone, note that the melody was excellent. It didn't sound like a nylon string guitar to me. If you like you could send me the guitar MIDI file and I will use one of my nylon guitar soft synths.

An excellent welcome back song!
