Original Tune - I played ac/baritone/el guitars, piano, bass (keys), lap steel guitar (keys), part drum programming - the rest was drums from BB 2020 Mac.

Carl...it's really difficult to title an instrumental piece sometimes but you nailed it with Summer Vibes...it reminds me of the quieter time on a surfer movie...the baritone guitar is especially nice and reminiscent of that California vibe...you are an exceptional and versatile musician and a grifted composer...this was a great listen...thanks for posting...best regards...Dan

You are a multi-talented musician! Loved this instrumental.

Your chops are second to none.

A super mix also. Everything about this is top shelf!

PS - you can never have to many instrumentals in the showcase.

REMIXED!!

The acoustic guitar chords needed to be more audible - and a few other minor fixes/repairs, always finding/hearing new stuff on every listen!!
