The acoustic lead pairs quite well with the style you selected. A very comfortable listen.

Hi Alan and Di,
At first, congratulations in advance on your 78th birthday tomorrow, Al!
A beautiful song you made. The song really has a South American vibe, but sometimes it doesn't.
You do that very cleverly and so 'relaxed'!
Wonderful guitarplay. You did the acoustic by yourself?
I enjoyed the build up of the song. So well done!
Have a nice day tomorrow, and after that too!
Hans

Alan, what a beautiful instrumental. And in just three hours! I'm glad you're finding time to create; I'm sure it feeds you in a very important way while you're caring for Diane. Best wishes to you both and hope you make another forum appearance soon.

That solo acoustic guitar is stellar. Noel summed up our feelings: "The way you aurally and smoothly guide a listener along never stops impressing me." Your RT choices, progressions, arrangement and mix are always a showcase of what can be done with BiaB. As we have often said "A showcase in the User Showcase."  Thanks and the very best to you both.

Hi Alan.
What an absolutely delightful listen.
It was perfect for my somewhat overcast Melbourne morning.
As always, your chord progression is your signature.
The way you aurally and smoothly guide a listener along never stops impressing me.
Listening to your creations always brings me a wonderful feeling of satisfaction.
I loved the band you chose and I loved the music you created for it.
Everything about this presentation fits perfectly and sits very comfortably on my psyche.
My best wishes to you and Di.
--Noel Noel, That is so very nice of you to say. I always look forward to your comments and music. I truly appreciate your seemingly never-ending wonderful comments on my posts. Best to you and yours. Alan

Alan,
You truly mastered the art of arranging and BIAB. Your skills never fail to amaze. Very pleasant composition. Neat chord changes. I can hear a couple of tracks that I've used in the past, but in your hands they are taken to a whole new level. Mix is clear and listens very well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Misha, thank you very, very much. Coming from such a great composer as you, I'm flattered. Best wishes .. Alan

Sounds great to me, Alan, that acoustic lead is fabulous!
Lovely job on the rest of the track too, enjoyed. Thanks so much. I really like the various slack key acoustic tracks. Again, thanks so much. Alan

Yes very mesmerizing indeed! You got a lot of good things done in 3 hours.
You certainly have a knack for finding a lot of soothing and calming real tracks.
I like the way you mixed and blended them! David, you are much too kind. But I'll find a way to live with it. I appreciate your comments very much. Alan

Well done as always, Al.
Storytelling is one of my favourite parts of music and you managed to capture it well within this song.
Wishing Di and yourself the best as we come into the warmer weather. ☀️ Nicholas, Those are very kind comments. Thank very, very much. Alan

Oh, I could listen to that slack key acoustic all day when you make it sound like that, Alan. Sucha good write and mix. WIshing you and Di all the best. You are truly an inspiration, sir. Marty, You always put a smile on my face with your comments. When someone says I inspire them in any way, especially someone with so much talent as you, it never fails to make me try harder. You're such a great asset to this forum. Alan

Hans Hans, It's great to hear from you. Thanks for listening and commenting so nicely. "Clever" - I'll take that compliment every day! No, I didn't play it. I wish I could play that skillfully. Once upon a time, I was pretty good. It's a BIAB RT. Wishing yu the best, Alan

Alan, I enjoyed your song and guitar playing, very tastefully done! Hi Bob, Thank you for the listen and very nice remarks. No, that is not me playing the lead acoustic. It's a BIAB RT - one of my favorites. I made a very good living playing music. I still play pretty good, but the finness and clarity of my playing has suffered a bit - I'm almost 80 years old. But I still enjoy it it. Wishing you well, Alan
