I've carried this melody around with me for a while...I also had the title for it but never wrote any lyrics...it is inspired by the first miracle of Jesus when He turned the water into wine...

He took something ordinary and turned it into something extraordinary...so I took something ordinary (a melody) and with the help of Scott Collingwood (who everyone knows from his fantastic guitar work on this forum) turned it to something extraordinary (I hope)...in other words I brought the water and Scott turned it into wine.

Like all of my mixes it is always in a constant state of flux...so if you have suggestions on the mix I will certainly entertain them...I hope you enjoy it...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan

Dan & Scott,

Nice.
Tracks sound good. Well mixed. (Especially like how the drums sound).

Scott really shines on this. Superb guitar work. Nice tone. Such clean playing...

Enjoyed.

Excellent choice of wine, Dan. There is a hint of blues and a strong aftertaste of the flavors only Scott can evoke. The man has an extraordinary musical palette. Your water was pure and the perfect ingredient for change. Ain't no miracle this is a barrel full of goodness.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Lovely song well played by both of you. It sounds to me as if Scott could be louder in the mix, but it's hard to trust the high-frequency attenuation of my errant ears. Of course, I'd love to hear this with lyrics and your superb singing.

Lyrical - nice melody!

Good balance with the instruments, sound nice on the headphones. Kept my interest throughout - nice guitar and piano work, both real and synthetic.

I like this one a lot. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The song cruises along nicely with a bit of a majestic feel. You have a good seed to grow into a song with lyrics. Scott C soars here.

Hello Dan and Scott,

A very captivating song. I really liked that part where the piano and lead guitar played intensely together (from 3:10).
And I know from my own experiences with Scott that he is able to turn water into wine. And he did that again (and again etc)!!!
I don't know if you need lyrics and singing here.

I enjoyed the song a lot,

Hans

Dan and Scott,

Although we seldom drink wine (we don't really care for it), this is a kind of wine we like very much!
Wonderful collaboration.
It gets the taste for more.

Dan & Scott ...

What a lovely song! I think the bust drum tracks works really well to keeop everything moving along so nicely. Wonderful melody! And yeah, Scott's playing is always fantastic. As a guitarist myself, .I've always enjopyed and envied his work.

Super listen!

Great melody flows straight into heart and Scott delivers it beautifully with an excellent sound and his artistic playing. And when the piano melody joins in, together with the strings, this gets a heavenly lift. The rest of the band sounds very good, although I would like to hear drums playing more calmly once in a while. And a gospel choir at the end would be really special smile Just like wine gets better with age, this one gets better on each listen. Classic tune.
