Graham,

A sweet, traditional sounding melody and the tone of the lapsteel is dreamlike.
Keep that instrument tuned!

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

Graham, this is beautiful!

It sounds like you have mastered that lap steel.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

I once owned an old Gibson lap steel...this reminds me of it and makes me wish I'd kept it.

Lovely!

We enjoyed it very much...

Very well done. Love that lap steel. Loved the chords you chose in the background. More than just the 1,4,5.... and of course the modulation which you handled nicely.

Hello, Graham

A sweet, traditional sounding melody!
Mellow and enjoyable!
It's truly amazing to be able to play so well not only the accordion but also lap steel.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Wow - this is beautiful Graham smile Very calming, and very peaceful to the ears. Precisely the kind of tune I can close my eyes and get lost in.

This is stunning and you should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
