Yes, you are certainly having fun Mr Mario.
I like the boppy, bright feel and the way you've introduced instruments, giving it lots of interesting character. Cool.

Mario, indeed fun tune! Very nice fretless and flute work! Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanx so much for those very nice comments.

Mario, This is a cool style for a jam in such capable hands- the bass and drums are a great fit and the guitar break is especially good. Really sounds like fun was had - nice to sit in on your session!

I loved this , I never anticipated what was next, and the style well it just had to be used for a nice surprising instrumental as this is.
The guitar sound and playing moved this up a level. Thanks

Mario,
You crank out some of the best instrumentals on the forum. I had to make a trip to Michigan, and right now I am enjoying this on my headphones in a hotel room. Whoa, that ending was unexpected. No complaints. The stereo placement feels right and natural. Great production.

Mario,
Very fun! The joy of playing is transmitted straight to me. Very nice fretless and flute work. I am also a big fan of B3 Organ. Your B3 sounds nice. It's painful that the Native Instruments B4 organ is no longer compatible with my Mac. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi Thanx so much. That organ sound is NI's B4II. It is the only 32 bit VSTi I have on my system. I have to use jBridge to wrap it as my DAW only accepts 64 bit VSTs. Is there a jBridge for a MAC? If so that may work for you.
