Mike,
I love the arrangement on this - the rhythm is very cool.
Good track selection and a wonderful mix.
Much enjoyed.
Bob Thanks for listening Bob. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Cheers, Mike

Mike, A very enjoyable listen. The arrangement keeps the ear engaged throughout. Nice, consistent musical theme, creating an excellent instrumental. Excellent mix. I wouldn't know the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 if it bit me on the butt, but...I certainly enjoyed this...  fj Thanks Floyd. I appreciate your comments. I guess you could say 3/4 and 6/8 are very similar but with different accents. In the end though, music is all about what it SOUNDS like. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment. Cheers, Mike

Very nicely done, Mike! I like the mix of instruments, just a top notch instrumental. You had me counting beats to pick up the 3/4 and 6/8 timing I mostly think in terms of 4/4 and 12/8, but when my songwriting partner comes up with the basic song idea it is often in 6/8. Took me a while to get my head around it the first time she did that! Good stuff, enjoyed the listen.

Wow - what a pleasant and calming tune The MIDI work on this outstanding. It sounds really lush, and really vibrant. Definitely peaceful on the ears, and love the groove and odd time signature you chose. Really well done - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

My question about the title was immediately (and sweetly) answered!! This is really nicely done. Love the way the bass and the melody play off each other! Lovely melodic piece! Wonderfully crafted Mike!! Take care. Greg As always Greg, thanks for your considered comments. Cheers, Mike

Nice, though I think the hesitant bass, as well as it's slightly growly tone, in the intro is a little off putting.
Rustyspoon may be right about the accordion and strings benefiting from a little sweetening. Thanks for listening rayc. Your comments are always illuminating and constructive. Cheers, Mike

That was a wonderful listen. We both have a long standing love of waltzes...even untraditional ones It's very obvious that a lot of thought and work were put into this production. And it paid off...big time. Very nice, J&B

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to mention this but… I’ve noticed some great partnerships on User Showcase recently and was wondering if it is appropriate to ask here if there is a lyricist/vocalist interested in working on my instrumental songs or wait to see if someone approaches me. Anyway, here goes. Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about finding a lyricist/vocalist interested in putting words/vocals to my song, GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES: https://soundcloud.com/user-952388172/good-things-come-in-threes - or any other of my songs I’ve submitted throght the PG forum on Soundcloud. Feel free to offer advice on whether this a foolish adventure or not suitable for this forum. Thanks, Mike

Feel free to offer advice on whether this a foolish adventure or not suitable for this forum. Thanks, Mike Mike - I think it's a great idea to seek collaborators on the forum (though, in this case, I would call them co-writers... "collaborator" always seems to me to denigrate the importance of what an actual co-writer does). But... I think you would be better served by putting a new thread in the Songwriting forum (maybe the Recording forum if only looking for instrumentation "help") with an appropriate thread title... "Co-writer wanted!" or "Seeking Collaborator". Putting the request at the "end" of a thread that has been on the Showcase for a while might not find "the right person", since many folks only visit a thread once and do not necessarily read the follow-up responses. A specific thread with a "Wanted:.." title would be more likely to get read by those who would be interested in being a part of it. And there are a bunch of very talented people in this small community.... (Also, those forums (Songwriting and Recording) see fewer posts, so your request would "stay on top" more easily and longer - without the flurry of activity that occurs in the Showcase)
