A ray of hope, a sliver of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day is the analogy that came to mind for me. Guarded optimism also sneaks in. It's a beautiful song in all respects and is perfectly arranged for a stage performance. Bud mentioned Gordon McRae - I think he hit the nail squarely on the head. He has a full, rich, mid-baritone voice this song would be magic with a vocal similar to his. (I grew up in the 1940s and 1950s - yep, officially old). But it shines really bright as is. You always make such pleasant music to listen to. I look forward to every post you load onto the forum.

A lot of folks trash AI in its various applications re music. My thoughts are use whatever tools are available to you that meld with the music you are creating. Ans ... AI is here to stay and will become even more prevalent as time passes.

Lovely and soothing song. Loved my listen.

Hi Alan.

I'm really glad that you found time to drop in smile It always gives my day a lift to see that you've visited. I know that life has put you in a very demanding situation and that you a busy man right at the moment. I sincerely admire the steadfast resolve and the caring tenacity with which you approach day-to-day life. In other words, you inspire me no end with what you do and how you do it. And amongst it all, you still find time to create truly beautiful music.

I really appreciate your thoughts on my song and on Asterian. You completely understand where I was coming from when I wrote and arranged Maybe Tomorrow. Like you, I'm also a believer in using whatever is available to make music that I like. Top of that list of tools is, without a doubt, Band In A Box. I started with the program in 2006 and even now, I still use it most days of the week. It never ceases amazing me just how many musical doors BIAB has unlocked for me.

Thank you again. I sincerely wish you and Di the very best of everything.
