You nailed this! It definitely has a somber quality to it, but I found it easy to tap my foot to still and it definitely feels very emotionally driven. Also, the arrangement on this was executed perfectly. I don't think I'd change a thing here.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Wow, so sweet!! Reminds me of some of the great Eagles' solos. Your last instrumental inspired a new song I'm finishing up. I may fire up "this band" as well and see where it leads. Great listen!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Alan

Very smooth! Very nice!
As Robert said, moody and classy.
The chord progression and guitar play seem to flow.
And I also have the same question as David.
"Man are you going for a song a day???"
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Al.
That's a pretty classy piece of music.
The guitar sounds quite saxlike to me in places.
Very nice.
Cheers.

HI Shigeki,

Thank you for those very nice comments! I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. No, not a song a day - but perhaps one every 3 or 4 days. I don't want to "hog" the board. I do have a dozen or so ready to go.

Best to you,

Alan

Hi Scoot,

Yes, Brent knows his way around those 6 strings and 22 or so frets. Not too shabby! And thank you for the very nice comments. I appreciate them. Wishing you the best,

HI Rich!

Thank you very much. And yes, the guitar has many of the same intonations one would anticipate from a good sax player. Good catch! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know. Hope all is well with you,

Alan
