A Love Remembered A love remembered! Was it the one that got away? Or the one you had to push away? Was it the one you were glad to get away from as they turned out to be a nut case? Maybe the one that passed away? You chose which one this song reminds you of if in fact it reminds you of anybody. BiaB Style = Untended MIDI New Age Rock Tempo = 80 PBM I deleted the guitar and bass Piano = ToonTrack-EXKeys2 - Dream Machine - preset - Vibra Vibes Strings - Kontakt - CL Projects - Bronze Pads - preset - Farside of the Moon Utility track - Syntronik 2 - preset - A Blowing Glass I am playing my fretless bass, my Kramer Strat guitar, and via my wind controller the Swam Tenor Sax. As always all comments are welcomed.

I said no.

As usual, a professionally produced song.
A pleasant vibe and great sax.
Nicely done.

Mario, love the modulations! Just a really pretty song and interesting arrangement. Your "sax" sounds great! Same for your bass and strat. Thanks for sharing!

Something on the left is sharing freqs with the bass and gives a slight impression, in head phones, that the bass smears left occasionally.
Great to hear your guitar again.
Nice one.

A very distinct nostalgic quality. The love that was realized, but both parted their separate ways mutually.
Your guitar has that early 60s sound. Love it. Nice counter with the sax. Magical piece.

Your guitar has that early 60s sound. Love it. Nice counter with the sax. Magical piece. Thanx so much. That guitar is an old Kramer Focus 111S That I bought new a number of years ago for $69 USD. It is based on those early strats. You have a very good ear!

Hi Mario.
My excursions into love were never that peaceful.
It reminds me more of love that never was.
Very well produced piece.

Man, that is an excellent vibe.
Kind of a soulful/bluesy new age feel.
And per usual it's topped off by your standout multi instrumental performances.
Great arrangement and mix with a nice "pop" to the drums.
A fine production!

Really nice piece of work Mario! By the way, I just stumbled across one I may have missed while I was away, called Inner Sanctum. LOVED that. Totally Zappa.

That Zappa comment was extremely kind and I am humbled by it. PS - I do have a few Zappa records. Joe's Garage is really funny-----and true!

Hmmm... I had one that got away, but later I was rather glad she did. Whew! Never had any I had to push away --I'm a bass player, ya know. Already mentioned the one who made me happy by being gone. Never had one pass away. I never think of any of them, so I'll just remember old times with the one I got. Gee, after all that heavy typing, I have to go back and actually listen this time to what you created. At this point I can tell you the tune is great background music for typing.
Dream machines and Vibra Vibes. Hey, there's that guitar I enjoy. So tasteful, so thoughtful, so good. Here's a comment I cut 'n' paste everywhere: Turn up the bass!
Always a treat, Mario.

Always a treat, Mario. Thanx Marty. Background typing music, I wonder if there is a market for that? I'm with you as I don't think about my past "loves" as I am very happy with the one love I have now!
