Scott,
Your guitar tone on this seems to really "hit the sweet spot" to define the Scott Collingwood sound! Cool.
Nice backing that allows your guitar to shine.
Very much enjoyed the listen. One of your best.
fj Thanks Floyd My tone has been a work in progress. Been chasing that butterfly for quite awhile. Glad you liked the song Scott,
very pleasant tune. Cool melody line and tone. Easy listen! I do think that lead guitar is a bit too upfront, but that might be just me. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks Misha for checking out the song. Will revisit the mix. Glad you liked it.

Nice chord progression, very melodic playing, and gorgeous tones on both the ES335 and the strat. Really fun chords and groove to play too. The chord with the most color, the B, can throw all sorts of stuff over that one.

SWEET! Very tasty guitar chops Scott. The backing tracks allow your playing to really shine. You are a fantastic guitarist.
Loved it!

Your guitar on this sounds even more like your signature sound than usual.
Very pretty, nicely played and arranged.
A good one.

Scott, it's already been alluded to but we feel that your composition is very cinematic. It's easy to picture a lovely film landscape as it plays.
The chops and tone are, as always, very unique to you. And that is always a good thing.
Thanks for the backstory on how you put it together. The band and mix are great. And, of course, Janice being an occasional cajon player caused us to notice the percussion.
Well done!

Hi Scott,
What a sensitive, sweet, and sad song you made!
A very nice solo and structure of the song.
It's a very nice one to let it play on and on while you read a book, try to sleep or do nothing but sipping on your rum.
Like it very much,
Hans

Two days ago I was talking with someone about your playing, Scott, and 3 words came to mind. Tone, timing and taste. This tune is such a great example of that. Man, you really know how to inspire mood in your listeners, and I'm happy to be one. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for the kind words Marty. Really glad you liked the song. Haunting theme, improvised upon beautifully. Great work! Thanks TM for checking out the song. Glad you liked it. Nice chord progression, very melodic playing, and gorgeous tones on both the ES335 and the strat. Really fun chords and groove to play too. The chord with the most color, the B, can throw all sorts of stuff over that one. Thanks Frank for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.

Very beautiful playing, the melody is very strong and full of melancholy. At some point I was expecting to hear some Mark Knopfler type of singing. The instrumentation is excellent, the tin whistle gives nice Celtic feeling and the bass has pleasant sound. Twin City reminds me of my visit to Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

This was very good. Excellent tone(s), great chord progression, relaxing while haunting. The tone was unique to you, but I almost got some Carlos Santana-esque Dorian vibes there near the end.
