You are a master of music and no mistake, sir. What a beautiful track. Thank you.



Hello James ...

You are always much to kind to my music. I sincerely appreciate that. I would post a copy of the chord sheet but I have no idea how to take a screenshot. BIAB made the transitions in the chorus so smoothly it's hard to imagine to complexity of the pattern simply by listen. But, I think that's a good thing. Again, all my sincere thanks. Wishing you the very best. Take care ...

Misha.

P.S. what surprises me is with so many "musical" baby toys, there are very few that actually have good music. It is either classics that done horribly, or some insanity that sounds like a bad sound track from Atari video game from mid 80s. It would be pretty cool if they had crib toys with actual music tunes, such as this one for example.



HI Misha ...

Thank you very much. Glad it brought you some relaxation. We don't have to be babies to relax to music that soothes us. And I agree with you about the kids' toys. Again, manty thanks. Best to you, mn friend ...

Hi Alan,

I told you before, you always have nice stories on how you got a song, or a title (the butterflies) and you did that again. Although you didn't mention if the little girl fell asleep, or kept crying the whole night through (nasty joke, don't take it serious).

Within a few months I will become a grandpa myself. I heard it'll be a girl. And we have to take care for her in future every wednesday.
I need your song to help me on hard occasions, so I save it.
For me it worked almost. I barely stayed awake. That means you've made a good song. Nice intruments and a nice melody!

Have a nice day, you and Di and the neighbours,
Hans

Hi Al-David,

Very soft and soothing melody. It is well done. And this corresponds well to the sweetness that we want to bring to the young children that we adore.

Hans ...

First, congratulations on soon to be a grandpa. It's a pretty nice thing to be! Our youngest grandchild is in his last year of high school and three have already graduated college. That happens when you get old! I'll be 74 next month.

Thank you for the very nice comments. The parents told me the littler girl went to sleep as she listened. That made me feel great!

I'm delighted you enjoy hearing a little bit of backstory on my songs. I'll continue to sat at least a small amount of how I put my songs together as I post new ones.

Again, thank you very much. Take care ...

Alan
