A very nice tune with some lovely expressive playing.
The piano was particularly tasteful.

A strong melody on this one...
It reminded me of those tunes from great days ago...
I kept waiting for a vocalist to come in crooning...
"Lost memories... haunting all my dreams"...
A very pleasant production as usual...
I enjoyed it... Thanks!

Thank you guys for the nice comments. And Jim, something you don't want to hear is yours truly singing. That would be the end of the party!

I just had to come back & hear your composition once again...
This is really a nice piece of music...
I really like it...
Or as the musicians in your band would probably say...
I really dig it. smile

Really nice work on this Mike smile It has a really nostalgic quality to it, for me. I thought the slow groove added a lot of character as well, and there's some great progressions here.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
