This is just a little sax expressing feelings of a rainy day.

Rich, quite extraordinary.

Really loved the laid back style, and the masterful delivery of the Sax.

I could see the rain on the window, and imagined spending the afternoon by an open fire. Waiter, another glass of wine please.

Truly excellent, no question.

Hi!

What a truly relaxing song and so well crafted. Di and I are suckers for Smooth Jazz done well and this is done exceptionally well. This far better than a mood enhancer from a bottle - that's meant as a compliment!

Thanks for the smiles on our faces. We sure do appreciate it.

Alan & Di

Actually, the sax is a RealTrack and the track just fit right into my idea. I added a little chorus effect to give it a more personal feel.

Thank you VideoTracks

Gee, thank you for such a nice compliment. The piece was really an exploration of a chord progression that I was interested in checking out. I worked with progressions in 3rds on this going back and forth between Major chords and minor chords.
