My least favourite of my compositions, which I nearly scrapped until I found a late-coming voice for Orla Swoon! It remained untitled for ages before I completed it as I couldn't find a single guitar solo that worked with it and it was only the Britt Savage vocal that saved it from the bin. It's been more popular on FB than I expected, plus it ends a little differently to the average track. Drums: Cay Island Steel Drum Soloist ~Wes Little Tabla: Tap Table Pop ~ Shobhit Banwait Kalimba: World Beat 2 South African Dance ~ uncredited Bass: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Band ~ Tobin Frank Marimba: Cay Island Steel Drum ~ Todd London Rhythm Guitar #1: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Band ~ Darin Favorite Rhythm Guitar #2: Jovian Divine Alt Rock Soloing ~ Mike Durham Organ: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Band ~ Gene Rabbai Piano Solo: Giggle Rumba Pop AC Piano Solo ~ John Jarvis Rhythm Piano: Cape Breton Piano Reel ~ Troy MacGillivray Harmonica Solos: Vicksburg Harmonica Even-8 Blues ~ L. D. Miller Organ Solo: King Fast Blues Rock Organ ~ Charles Treadway Vocal Solo: Rum Runner Old Jazz Vocal Solo ~ Britt Savage 144 bars; 4/4, Em; tempo 115; Time 5:08

Least favorite? Not for me. I like the intepay with the piano and bass. That harmonica is crazy --good but crazy. I like the way you bring each soloist in and out. Very wel done. Cool dualing harmonicas when the rest of the band left the stage --the drummer held on the longers. Hey, Chay, a least favorite is still a favorite. I really like it.

Chay, very energetic and fun! Love the way you build your backing tracks and then keep them shifting against the lead instruments. This may be a "least favorite" of yours, but I'd give it an A++ for ambition. You really took some big swings with the harmonica and vocal soloists, and I think they work really well. The vocalist coda was a nice unexpected touch. Anyway...enjoyed the listen!

I really like the rhythm and the succession of solos is very well chosen.

This works nicely for me! The mix is great and I love the way you used the harmonicas and vocals - very cool.

Wao, I think this is actually a pretty GOOD song. I'd probably remove the steel drum, but that's my only minor nit. Works for me ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

I agree re the crazy harmonica. You should check L. D. Miller out on YT: "It's Alright" with Michael Kelsey - he's crazy good - and solo an excellent vocalist and guitarist too on "Balloons".

Bob Thanks Bob. If I hadn't found those vocals I would have scrapped it as I couldn't find anything else which fit the piece.

Thanks BD. I use marimba and kalimba, no steel drum/s as yet. After reading your comment I played it with the marimba and kalimba muted and it could work like that - though I'd have to re-step the intro instruments - but it loses its 'hecticity'.

Hi Wao,
This is not at all an imperfect song!
The anoying thing is I was just searching for instruments and got stuck by the Bongo's. Not really your Marimba and Tabla, but kind of similair.
And the I heard your 'least favorite' song and I thought "Damn, he mowed the grass in front of my feet" (Dutch proverb).
But you did that in a very nice way, together with the organ and harmonica.
So, from now on you call it your most favorite song, don't you?
I will...
Hans

Thanks for your great responses on this one Scott, Hans and Elliot. Hans, while I'm glad that my lawnmower didn't chop your feet off, this instrumental is still on my B playlist.

Chay, an interesting choice of instruments.
I have no idea how you managed to mix them so well!
It may be your least favorite but it is a favorite of mine.
Keep up the great work.
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.

Thanks Floyd and Mario, much appreciated. Mario, the only instrumentals I like less than "Orla Swoon" are my few non-intrusive soundtrack ones for videos in which the visuals or wordage and visuals were more important. But I do keep finding that what I like most, others aren't so keen on, and what I like least, others like most. … Thinks: Eureka! … I'm gonna write something really crap and it'll be a worldwide hit!

Man, that harmonica is wild - in a good way. Great bass along with many other fine tracks.
The vocals are creative and effective in arrangement.
A lot of tracks to mix and your work sets up a great soundstage on our monitors.
Glad you finished it!
