Hi Greg, Andi and Mario,

A waltz doesn't sound sexy, so I was afraid who would listen to it, but you did!
Thanks for that. Your comments are a kind of 'icing on the cake'...

Greg: Very nice to say, Greg. Yes, it was more work than I expected. Especially the strings, but those vocals as well. Even my own vocals had changed a lot of times. They had to sound dark in the beginning and more joyful in the chorusses of course, but in the recordings that didn't work out as I had in my head. I'm also pretty hard on myself, I know. My wife almost got crazy hearing me time after time 'that night, that night..' (she hears the singing without the music. That is tough, I can tell you!

That is something very special
For me it sounds like a Top musical song
And the story that is told there is very touching
Superbly implemented
I can only congratulate !!!
Many greetings
Andi ;-)


Andi: What a huge compliment! I think Mario must have been impressed by your words too; he called you Dani!
Thanks a lot for it. Especially because I never thought you'd want to listen to waltzes.
I fatasized how it would be living in a retirement home, waiting to die. What would you think about? Well... in my case that Night ;-)

Great chord progression
You put a lot of work into this one and the results are outstanding.
As Dani said this would work very well in a musical.


Mario: Thanks so much for theze words. I teased a bit about you calling Andi Dani. But when I read it the first time, I thought something wrong with my pc? I haven't received a post from Dani. I checked it again, then read about the musical and noticed you meant Andi. He wrote that.
And because of all this you decided to make a waltz as well! Not with an accordion, but a harmonica. Great song!

Have a nice weekend everyone,
Hans
