Super first post!

I assume that you are playing the trombone? Awesome job if it is you!


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

This is simply excellent. Smooth, smoky, elegant, and ever so lightly swinging. Superb performance, composition and use of BIAB. Wow.

Mr. Howard...

While listening to Road to Paris I imagined my father -- caught-up in a starry-eyed haze of romantic nostalgia by your track -- getting up from the dining room table and extending his hand, prince-like, to my oh-so-charmed mother, and saying, "Baby, let's not let this moment get away from us."

I hope 'EdZ314' won't mind me stealing his comment about your composition:

"This is simply excellent. Smooth, smoky, elegant, and ever so lightly swinging. Superb performance, composition and use of BIAB. Wow."

I mean, like, ya' really can't get much more descriptive about what there is to like about Road to Paris, so I ain't gonna try -- except when it comes to the trombone player, who blew velvet pillows and sunset clouds out of his/her instrument cool. It's good to know there are people/musicians/artists who are making musical dreams like this.

LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

P.S. Would love to know which Real Style and/or Real Tracks you used!
