Hello Alan,
Immidiatly I loved that acousic guitar solo. Very nice!
But I realized practically every post mentioned that. So Alan, it's true. It is a nice piece of work you did, although you have so little time considering your worries about Di.
I listened to your song on my headphones (not 6 cm above my head like Ray does, but just on my ears). To me everything sounded well mixed, nothing to be changed.
Aah, just read Jims' response above. I think that also applies to me!
All the best,
Hans

I always enjoy listening to a good instrumental. This is no exception.
Given the short time you had available to work on the song, it's a great outcome.
I perhaps think that the lead could sit a tiny bit further back, not too much, just a tiny bit, please don't bury it.
Nevertheless, a great performance. Well done.

Nice listen!  No strong opinion about the mix. I was just thinking I needed to work on my MIDI acoustic guitar soloing skills, but listening to this, I think my time might be better spent digging into the the BiaB solo guitars.  Glad you found the time to make this! Thanks a bunch, David! Appreciate the listen and kind words! best to you ... Alan

Very nice, Al! The acoustic sounds good to me in the mix. I'm listening t the song on my PC's El Krappo speakers and it all sounds good. You know that is the real test on audio.  Chord progression moves smoothly under the acoustic solo. Great title! Thanks so much, my friend. And yep ... if the Krappo speakers still sound decent, then I guess it came out OK! Thanks for the visit and kindness ... Alan

Alan,
Sounds great. The mix is excellent (I'm listening on studio monitors).
Nice use of that acoustic lead!!
Hope y'all are both doing well...
fj Hi Floyd ... Always a pleasure when you chime in! Thank you for the very nice comments. I don't have much time for music or the forums but always enjoy my interaction here. Please excuse the brevity of my replies, but trying to get back tyo as many commenters as possible in a short time span. Di is struggling but holding on. Thanks for the thought. Wishing you & yours the best ... Alan

Another nice use of the MURKY style on the forum, acoustic lead and congas give it a lighter touch. Smooth and beautiful chord progression, good use of held chords.
Janne Janne ... Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I switched out the original drums and then added the acoustic lead. Thanks for noticing. the original drum track, and several similar ones, got in the way of the b/g guitars, so I used the congas instead. Many thanks. Best to you ... Alan

Alan, that track has been masterfully put together! I liked it as is! I think that acoustic lead is occupying its appropriate place in the mix! You are definitely one of the best around here when it comes to assembling a track! Super job on this! Thanks, Torrey Torrey ... Thank you so very much for those encouraging words! Excuse for a few seconds as I squeeze my head back to its original size! I appreciate those kind words more than you know. Wishing you and yours the very best ... Alan

Your mix & song sound good to my ears... But I must confess they are getting old Take good care of your lady As you try to squeeze some time for your music! Thanks so much, Jim! You think your ears are getting old. Ha! Mine will be 73 years old in March. But, my hearing is "selectively" pretty good! But they tend to decrease in efficiency when someone is telling me everything I did wrong ... can't figure out that medical mystery !!! Wishing the best for you & yours ... Alan

Dear Alan,
first of all: Congratulations on the 2019 award !!!!
Eulogy To A Broken Heart is really so beautiful. So smooth and gentle. I don't know how you can put such a beautiful thing together in less than 5 hours - it's amazing.
Great soloist track and I love the arrangement and the mix sounds very good, too.
Hope Di has recovered - big hugs to both of you!
All the every best to you both,
Stefan

Alan,
your arrangements always shine. This is not exception. Dark and beautiful. Since you asked, yes, lead is a bit loud, but if you have not asked I would not even mentioned, because overall it is A+. Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Thanks Everyone! Appreciate the kind words. I'll be back in a day or two to listen to a few more of your songs and leave a brief replay to each of you individually.
I HAVE REMIXED THIS AGAIN. I BROUGHT DOWN THE LEAD ACOUSTIC GUITAR JUST A BIT - MADE MANY MEASURE-TO-MEASURE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE VOLUME OF THE ACOUSTIC AS NEEDED. I PUT A LITTLE MORE REVERB ON THE ACOUSTIC SO IT WOULDN'T STAND SO "FORWARD" IN THE MIX COMPARED TO THE B/G GUITARS. I ALSO BROUGHT THE PERCUSSIONS UP JUST A BIT, TOO. I THINK OVERALL BALANCE IS BETTER NOW.
AGAIN, MANY THANKS.
DI IS HOLDING STEADY BUT NOT IMPROVING VERY MUCH. SHE SAYS "HI!" TO EVERYONE.
ALAN

Hi Alan, This is...  Every time I listen to one of your creations, I sit here in front of my computer mesmerised. Your gift for creating wonderful music has never once disappointed. Time and time again you post songs of the highest calibre. I love the warm, inviting sound that your BIAB 'band' brings to this song. The aural textures blend together so well that the final result is such a very comfortable fit on the ears. I commend you on such a fine melody, too. In a nutshell... I thoroughly enjoyed this music journey. Please say hi to Di. I read in another post that 2019 has been a very gruelling year for you both. I hope that 2020 brings some joy to both of you. All the best, Noel
