Hi Scott ...
First, congrats on the new family member!
This song has an enchanting and peaceful vibe to it. Love the echo/delay - finding the sweet spot for it isn't always easy as it can be over-used or it can be inadequate to the desired effect. And yeah ... you found the center of the sweet spot! Nice playing and a wonderful listen.
Best to you & yours. Take care.
Alan

Hi Scott C,
Superb melody very gripping. The guitar makes us feel your emotions and that's great. You have managed to make your instrument speak and it is already very good. Making a guitar speak is quite an art. I enjoyed it.

There seems to me a peaceful elation in the melody. Very well done.
On my speakers the bass guitar was sort of buried. And the Left and right channels felt bright in a way that distracted my attention away from your beautiful melody. But it might simply be my speakers.
Much enjoyed! Thanks Marvin. Will go back a revisit the mix. Glad you liked it Hi Scott,
I think Elena will get married by the time you have lyrics on this beatiful melody with the impressing leadguitar!
But I believe (as a singer) you need vocals in it. If only for Elena!
At the beginning of may I will become a grandpa too, for the first time! A girl. So, I have to make a song on that event too, but I will tell her later I had to see her grow up, so I could make a very nice song. and that this took me some years. There I will point at you; hear the result, it was worth waiting, I then say to her.
But make lyrics and let Robert sing.
And don't wait till my grandchild gets married...
Hans
Lol I think I have planted a seed of interest for Robert. Elena loves the song and hopefully if all works out we will have lyrics and a vocal in the future. And yes I think Robert would be perfect for the vocal. Scott,
A lovely melody you`re playing,like a musical balloon floating happy hopes for the young lass(almost the same age as my youngest).
Its just fine as is, though you never know about that lyric guy!
Robert Thanks Robert as you can see there are a few people lobbying for a vocal and lyric :-). Glad you liked it.

Well, this challenge Robert can't ignore. I'm sure!
Maybe he can get some inspiration from that Greek song Helena (pronounced Elena).
But thanks for your positive reaction, Scott!

Really nice feel, Scott. You really captured the feel of loving a child here. As an instrumental it gives us a chance to close our eyes and imagine the little ones in our lives. A excellent example of how music touches our soul.

Scott,
It's true that there are many collaborations with Robert these days, but when I listen to your instrumental work for the first time in a while, I'm familiar with it.
The deeply echoed Hank Marvin-like guitar sound is always nice to listen to.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you Shigeki for the very kind comments. They are very much appreciated. So glad you liked the song. Well played and lovely.
This has the signature Scott reverb/delay and phrasing. Thanks Ray Glad you like it. Hi Scott ...

Alan Thanks Alan Actually the song has been sitting idle for about 10 years. I also have a nephew now. His name is Dominic. I am thinking a song which would be Dom the Dominator. !! Would have to be lots of gain in the song lol...
