Quick afternoon throw-together?
Man, this is really good, very moody.
Enjoyed my listen.
A lot!
Best wishes to Di ! Hi B.B. Yep, just an afternoon romp through the hallways of Band In A Box. There's some pretty nice stuff behind some of those doors! Thanks again, Alan

Alan, I always know I’m in for a treat when I see your name pop up. This is so very relaxing and provides a great opportunity to slow down and rest from whatever your troubles may be. You are a master of these instrumentals and of what can be achieved from this software. Bravo! Tom, I'm not sure what to say in response to such an encouraging and kind review. Master? I don't know about that. But I sure do enjoy creating these things! Alan

Hi, Alan.
It's a treat to hear anything from you!
It's not easy to get a cohesive instrumental from BiaB, but you've done a stellar job here. \ Hi David, You made my night! I appreciate your words so much. Your input is always spot on and very helpful;. Thank you for those terrific words! Alan

Nicely done as per usual, Alan!
I agree with other comments here, no one is better than you at getting great performances from BIAB.
Best to you and Di, hope she is doing a little better now. Dave, That is so nice of you to say. Thank you very much. I try! I'll pass on your kind words to Di. Unfortunately, her health is quickly declining. I'm just hoping she's still here to celebrate Christmas with me this year. According to her doctor, that's not a given. But we carry on each day. Best to you. Alan

Alan, another beautiful exploration of a style I love: bossa nova.
All the best to you and your wife, from a Norman in the rain.
Laurent Thank you very much for those very nice words! Thank you for your wishes for Di's health. Take care, Alan

This is very impressive Alan. You have a gift of being able to make music expressive. Enjoyed my listen.
Charlie Charl;ie, Many thanks for all of that. I keep trying - sometimes something good comes from it. (Not always!) I appreciate those very nice comments. Alan

"This is another quick afternoon throw-together - nothing real special"
Alan, if that's the case, I'm so far behind!
This is a lovely, moving piece!
The folks at PG Music must be thrilled to have someone like you posting these gems in the forum!
You and Di are in my thoughts and prayers during this challenging time for you both!
Be strong and keep encouraging us with your wonderful arrangements! TB Hello, Torrey ... Again, I'm lost for appropriate words to say in return. I don't think you're behind anyone here. Your music is always among the very best offerings. Thank you for your prayers and kind words for Di. The prognosis is not good. we're hoping she's still here this Christmas. According to her doctor, that's optimistic. But, we trudge on and make the best of each day. Again, many thanks. Alan

Alan, if this is an example of "This is another quick afternoon throw-together" I would really love to hear what you could do with a lot more time! However I know that you have much more important things to deal with right now.
Super song and mix
Loved it Hi Mario, Thank you so much! I don't think there's much more I would do with additional time. Four to six hours is my typical time frame. I wouldn't know what else to do if I had more time. Probably overthink and screw it up! Thanks so much! Alan

So very sorry about Di, hope things are better for her now. So glad you have BIAB and forum friends to provide some respite. This created a strong mood, I enjoyed it.

Alan,
It's a really great acoustic instrumental.
The combination of guitar solo and backing accompaniment is amazing.
I love these kinds of Latin rhythms, so I really enjoyed listening to this.
Best regards.

Really lovely arrangement and mix. Great choice of acoustic instruments, including percussion. I found it more gently relaxing than evocative of loneliness.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

We miss the number of acoustic productions that used to be posted here.
This is a great reminder of how much we like them.
Particularly given our years in acoustic bands.
This is a great example of how expressive a melancholy tune can be when done all acoustically.
And of course when done by the BiaB session master.
Enjoyed it!
