Very nice! I hear the Highland influence. I don't have anything knowledgeable to say, and this isn't the style I usually listen to, but I liked this tune and the mix of instruments contributing. Thanks.

Hi Buttrey, thanks a lot for your nice comment and for listening - I'm very glad you liked my Highland Ballad and you could hear the Scottish influence! I think it's good for our 'music ears' to listen to many kinds of music - helps to widen our horizon and promotes new ideas!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Deryk, very glad you like my Highland Ballad and you can hear the Scottish influence - grateful for your comments, thanks a lot for taking a listen!!

Wish I could post my "Hymn" tune here too (same location and very peaceful) - but it wasn't made using BB so I guess I may have just broken a rule by mentioning it??
Apologies if I did!!

Best regards, Carl

Lovely and serene. The piece has a calming effect. I especially like your nylon guitar part.

Hi Ezekiel - many thanks for your nice comments, really pleased you like my Highland Ballad!

If you like serene and calming nylon guitar, you may like my "Hymn" on Soundcloud - but is was not recorded using BB!

Thanks a lot for listening - best regards, Carl
