Thank you Josie for checking out the song. So glad you liked it. Will be experimenting more with different sounds to try and keep my music interesting.

Sweet song....appropriately titled!! When I read your desciption, I thought you'd really get unhinged with the fx but they are pretty tame and well-applied. Melody is gorgeous, and I really like that synth percussive element. Enjoyed much!! Take care. Greg

A very nice and gentle composition that is suitable for all ages.

Sounds great Scott. Beautiful tone.

Some effect around 2:50 makes it sound like it's clipping though. Hard to tell whether it is intentional or an actual clip.

But a great tune man.

All the best,

Thanks allot Noel. Always trying to find something new and interesting. Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Stephan I am glad you checked out the song...

Some cool sounds happening though! And as always, nice melodic playing.



Thanks Dave for checking out the song. I didn't know very much about recording and daw's and plugins when I first started playing again. I didn't even know how to mike the amp. Do I use a shure mic with a converter mixer or a usb mike. Was very confusing. So I looked for way to get the old school tones at reasonable volume levels. A daunting task.

Thank you for the kind words Ed. I really appreciate it. I am glad you liked the song.

Thank you Floyd for checking out the song. It is amazing how these effects can change the mood of the song. Make it angry make it sad. So glad you liked the song..

Thanks so much for the comments. I am glad you mentioned how you achieved your live tone. I have been doing a lot of experimentation with using two amps. One dry one with effects. Even these ne pedals are including a mix control which controls the blend from a dry signal.. So glad you like the song..

It's very peaceful and dreaming but always keeps you engaged...that's a great sweet spot to hit!

Lovely and wonderfully performed.

Some pretty (and very recognizable as you despite the effects)playing. Nice use of the sound palette and a very relaxing listen.

Thanks David for checking out the song. Interesting you mentioned the clipping. Pretty sure the clipping is coming from the wah. When I hold it in a certain spot it sure sounds like its clipping. Will play with it some more and see where that is coming from. Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Peter. After I played the song back while mixing. I found the song was reminding me of Conjola the song we did together. Glad you liked the song..
