OP furry Veteran Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 7,258 Scottish Highlands	I was asked by one of my friends in Shetland Adaline Christie-Johnston to compose a tune for her husbands birthday yesterday The tune is called Alastair Christie- Johnston.Luckily they both love it. RTs used were kept to a bare minimum to let the melody be heard properly without clutter. RealTracks in song: 2865:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CelticSlowWaltzDave Ev 100 I WAS feeling crap when I recorded it as I'd had a fever for a week and for the last three days it had reached 38.4. The cause is a leg infection. It's only tonight it's finally been back to normal, so I hop you enjoy the first tune of my own for some time ?

It is a beautiful piece of music. The accordion maestro is also a master songwriter. Great work here Graham. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I got jealous watching you play so easily on the accordion. For me it was an impossible instrument. I've tried it several times but ended on a 12 string. Something quite different! And I am happy to read you are feeling better than before. I hope that upward trend continues! Stay safe, Hans Hans Berkhout (Birchwood) https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130
