Thank you CaptainMoto - yes quite right, less of the over-polished stuff, mine always comes with a few 'warts' you might say!
Appreciate your comment - cheers, Carl

This was terrific, the melody was so engaging. I think I'm going to be humming it the rest of the day. Great job!

Hi Greg, your comment means a lot - thank you very much indeed!!
Don't know whether I'm allowed to mention it here (as it's not BB) - you might like my 'Ronroco Calma' on Soundcloud, also soft & melodic?
Hope you keep finding just the right songs for your great voice!!
All the best in CA, Carl

Hi Carl,
As Greg wrote, your song is a joy listening to. It's laid back, but still a lot of things going on in it. Like the nylon string played and the mandolin enters as well. All together they make this a lovely tune. A pity no one sings in it...
Hans

Nice chops and a super mix. Excellent laid back lounge music. I am a big fan of lounge music and you certainly did it justice.
Great performance. Speaking of performance I would rather take a live first take that has all of the emotions in it as well as a few warts then an over polished lifeless track.
{edit} my first takes have a lot more warts then yours. Great job on that.

Thank you Mario - yes music should be 'real', and you're absolutely right about first takes! They always contain something more than subsequent takes when you start to bring your 'head' into it - the beauty of our modern DAWs is that we can record multiple 'first takes' when you're feeling fresh, and then use the best bits from each take when you mix with automation.
We are such a lucky lot with our modern computer music - I still pinch myself at what's available on my iMac (wish I could get my head around it all), and BB is a great tool to get ideas going.
Warts and all - enjoy your music and have fun, really appreciate your comment Mario!!
Carl
