Its good to hear from you again!

Thanks so much, Robert. This came together in about 3 hours - start to finish. The concept (chord pattern, style of backing tracks, etc., were pretty much in my mind when I sat down to start this. Glad you enjoyed it - thanks so much!

Fourth, no one gets tired of instrumentals!

Last, I know all about writing songs when on chemo. Been there - done that.


Hey Mario!

1. Thanks for the well wishes for Di - much appreciate by both of us.
2. I've been wanting this or another ES-175 (had one back in the 60s). This was in my price range! The neck is so comfortable and great sound from the box.
3. Thank you. A very nice compliment from an accomplished instrumentalist.
4. I don't get tired of instrumentals, but some folks do. A matter of personal likes & dislikes, I guess.

And yeah, that chemo can slow ya down real fast! But we're here to complain about it!!! best to you,

Alan

We love your track. It's well mixed and as others have mentioned it really shows off Brent and what can be done with a RT. The processing is cool.

We hope you are able to drop by more often.

Hey Ya'll!

Hope all is well in North Georgia. Things are slowly getting better here in Northern Alabama. Thank you for those nice comments. I appreciate them very much. And thanks for the well- wishes directed to Di. I doubt she'll sing again - so damned sad. frown

Can't go wrong with A Brent Mason part! Wishing you two the best.

Hi Alan,

Not had a lot of time on the forum myself recently, but nice to see you back and
I hope both you and Di are going on well.

What can I say about the track. You write from the heart, just like you sing. That says
it all really - you can't ask for more. Fabulous.

Take care, my friend.

All the best, ROG.

Thanks so much, Rob & Ann-Marie. I wish I could still play like that! In a couple of months, gonna post a video of me actually playing a jazz tune on my new guitar. Anyway, I appreciate your very kind words for the song and for Di. Wishing you both the very best.

Thank you, Shigeki! Those are some very nice words. But that's Brent Mason playing guitar - he does a pretty good job, eh?! Thanks again.
