Hello Alan,

that's a lovely one, too (would anyone expect anything else?) - that soloist track is just awesome, I think.

Hope that Di and you had a happy Christmas - once again Maha and I would like to wish both of you a most healthy and enjoyable 2021.

Looking forward to a buch of new songs from you and some very pleasant communivication.

All the very best,

Stefan

Hi Guys!

Thank you very much. Most of the credit goes to BIAB. I just picked out a few tracks and threw a couple of chords in the soup. Hope your New year is the best ever.

Hi Ember ...

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the song. But, as I told Janice and Bud, much of the applause should directed to BIAB - it's such a wonderful product. Thank all of you for creating this marvelous software for us musicians. Wishing you and PG Music a really good 2021.

Stefan, My Dear Friend,

I hope all is well with you and your lovely Maha. Di and I are doing okay. We're getting settled into our new house. Also bought all new furniture. The checkbook is nervous! The house and furniture was our Christmas present to each other. I don't usually spend that much at Christmas!

I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. I sincerely appreciate the very nice compliments. Thank you! I, too, really enjoyed that acoustic guitar track. I heard it & loved it within a matter of seconds.

I do have a few more songs waiting in the wings. I'll be posting one every week or so.

I hope 2021 brings Maha better health and you that your visual problems stabilize. As you know, my technical background is visual health and I understand what is happening with your sight. Wishing nothing but the very best for both of you. Cheers and warmest heart-felt wishes.

Alan & Di


PS: For those who do not know, Stefan has some significant visual problems that make reading smaller print very difficult for him. Thus the larger font for my replies to him. And yes, Stefan has no problem with me mentioning his visual issues.

Hi Misha ...

Thank you very much. And yes, in my ear it has a slight hint of Latin Influence. I raised the level of the brushes more than I usually do ti help that influence. I'm delighted you enjoyed. Thanks for letting me know!

Happy New Year, my friend.

Alan
