Dear "Cuban Pete...

My, my, what gorgeous chord changes you lavished upon your lovely song, "Bewildered!"

In fact, the "changes" are so lush and mellow-sounding that I wonder why you titled the song, "Bewildered." That sounds more like a title for a song composed in a minor key.

Regardless, "Bewildered" is lovely on the ears and quite soulful in feeling. Thanks for allowing us to listen to it.

Sincerely,

"bluage"

Mike,

I wish I understood midi better to figure how you make these instruments sound so real- I can tell the strings are synth, but not the other tracks.
Sooo smooth and relaxing!
Very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable at year end and maybe bewildered because, just because of it.

Tom selected the perfect words to describe this composition.

And, yes, you are a master at this. A careful and thoughtful listen indicates so many subtleties at work to support the solos.

Amazing!

Thanks all of you for the comments. Being called a "master" by the masters themselves is a real treat although I don't deserve the honor, but I must say I just enjoy immensely what I do and try to do the best I can.
Happy new year to every one!

Mike B.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
