Beautiful. How do you do it, time and time again? I genuinely loved this one - and I can't remember when (if ever) I didn't like a track of yours. Wishing you and your wife nothing but good health and good things coming your way. Thanks ever so much for sharing your music with us. Hello James .. So nice to hear from, my friend. How do i do it? Simple: A little bit of effort on my part and a whole bunch of near-magical backup from BIAB. What a great software!!! Thank you for those very nice words. That is so kind of you to say. My health is returning rather quickly but Di struggles every day. But she keeps faith and will power in high gear. Wishing you everything good ... Alan

Alan,
You do some of the Best instrumental on the forum. Well constructed. Coherent, cohesive. An excellent mix.
A pleasure to listen to.
fj Hi Floyd ... Dang, you just cost me some money. The few hats I have no longer fit! This is one of my favorites from over the past several years. A simple melody and chord pattern. And just enough instrumentation to fill it out. Many thanks for your kindness. Wishing you and yours the very best. Alan

Ooo yeah. I love this fun style, and you present it with such pazazz. Alan. Fun changes. That mando does an excellent job of fitting into the fun, but I was waiting for another soloist to take a head. Well done!!

I'm not on here as much as I'd like with all the med appts we have to go to now. So I get that. All you can do is the best you can. Wishing you both some R&R. I really enjoyed your song. It's very pretty and engaging.

A nice “riding the range” style tune Al. Isn’t it great when you find BIAB instruments that live together? Keep em coming.

That mando does an excellent job of fitting into the fun, but I was waiting for another soloist to take a head. Well done!! Hey Marty! I tried several fiddle and acoustic guitar tracks but none of them really fit that good. I wanted to keep the lead acoustic, so didn't sample any electric instruments. Glad ya liked it anyway. Thanks for letting me know. best to ya ... Alan

Josie Hi Josie! Thanks for the visit and very nice words. Di and I sincerely hope that whatever the issues are that keep you shuffling back and forth between home and the Dr's office resolve as good as possible. Wishing you the very best ... Alan

Al & Di
This is a very enjoyable listen, Alan. You are a treasure trove of good instrumentals. Not that we do not enjoy your rare vocals.
The mandola sounds great.
A strong band and mix, as always!
We have a framed photo of Crested Butte, CO we shot years ago that looks similar to your cover photo and, boy, those mountains are magical indeed. Wish we were there now!
Enjoyed it!
J&B
PS. We hope things will settle down soon for you and Di.

PS. We hope things will settle down soon for you and Di. Hey Guys ... Thanks a bunch for the very kind comments. The mandola was my first choice, but I previewed 5 or 6 other possibilities. However, none of the other instruments seemed to to give the song the "character identity" my occasionally-working brain had embraced. So, the choice was easy. I like the slightly lower, richer sound the mandola provided vs a mandolin. A "treasure trove"? Not so sure about that but a pretty decent song here and there. But I certainly appreciate your appreciation for my efforts. I lived in Denver for 4 years back in the 70s. I still own 5.3 acres almost 10,000 feet up, just north of Cripple Creek. Paid $17,500 for it in 1979. My guess is if I had appraised, it would be worth a few dollars more today! Never got to Crested Butte. Gunnison is as close as I got. Sure is pretty up there in mountains. Getting ready to post another one either this evening or tomorrow - has a very unusual chord pattern. Sometimes my brain takes backroads from my song's beginning to its end, rather than sticking to the previously charted route. And you never know what you'll find on those backroads! Occasionally there's a hidden gem there if you poke around a little bit. Again, many thanks. Alan OK, my PS: I'm doing much better. They had to go back and so some repairs on one of my previous surgeries. But it's all good (or nearly so) now. However, Di is slowly regressing. We don't publicly make a big deal of our faith, but it sure helps us in troubled times. There's not much time for sleep and rest, but I have to take care of her. She's a fabulous lady and deserves the best care she can get from the professionals, as well as from me.

Alan, don't worry about listening or commenting. You take care of yourself and Di, that is all that matters.
Oh yea about the song! This is so pro. It sounds like it was recorded in a pro studio. Excellent work on the chord progression, the instrumentation, and the mix.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hi Mario ... Thank you so much. The came about pretty quickly once I settled on the RTs. I appreciate all those kind words. And yep, I'm taking care of Di the best I can. She deserves nothing less. Best to you ... Alan

Mandolin feels a bet strange at first (I would have expected Spanish guitar or something like this) but it grows on you, I'm halfway through the song right now and can't imagine it without the mandolin anymore. Interesting idea, I like the song.

Very rich chord progression, always pleasure to hear something refreshing that is far away from the pop list formulas, still having pop mood and enough melancholy to feed my heart. The song rolls firmly ahead bringing images of a horse running in a valley near mountains. The band sounds mellow and nothing distracts in the mix.
