Hi Alan,

I'm just working my way through the forum. It's been quite a while since I sat down and spent any serious time in here.

I'm so sorry and saddened to read about your brother. My condolences for your loss. Even though we all know how life works, and that it's a journey that begins and ends, it doesn't soften the blow of losing those we love.

I'm so glad that this work of yours is up near the top of the posts. When I saw your name, it was a magnet that pulled me into this thread.

It's very refreshing to come back after an absence and to hear your music. Your competence still shines through and through. What I always like about your songs is that you compose and assemble your arrangements with all the finesse of a band master. You know exactly what goes where to achieve the results you want... what sound is needed here, what chord is needed there, what nuances will lift the aural texture to the next level, etc., etc. As someone less skilled in this arena, I seriously admire what you do.

Thank you for taking me on yet another delightful musical journey.

Please say hi to Di for me. I hope that things are sailing along on calm, blue waters for you both.

All the best,
Noel
