Alan, sorry for your loss, and your prior losses—takes lots of strength, I’m sure. I sometime think I must be a hell of a weakling, since the good Lord has spared me from the types of burdens you’ve faced. You certainly have brightened my world with your creativity, delivered with lots of love. Thanks for sharing yourself on this forum. Tom, You are much too kind. I'm glad to hear you've not had to make these kinds of journeys. The roads are pretty rough. It's so nice to hear anything I've posted has brightened prat of someone else's world. That's a wonderful compliment. And your music has enriched my experience here on the forums. Best to you. Alan

Alan - lost for words and felt the only thing I could say was with a little tune! Thank you for sharing your great love for each other - and for your music, wishing you strength at this time - I do hope you're ok with my little tribute and the tune title "Bird Song", I've never met either of you but I've always felt a connection! https://carlmogensen.bandcamp.com/track/50-bird-song-soft-instrumentalMay music carry you through this and recovery after all you've been through, Carl Yes, our mutual love and respect for one another made my world such a wonderful paradise. A part of me went with her. In time, I'll be okay. Music is an auditory elixir for those having down times. Your music is particularly good for that. I'm delighted you enjoyed this one. It was a quick project - about 2 hours. Wishing you well, my friend. Alan

Great tribute. Alan. I felt like Di, through you, was as much a part of this forum as anyone. I know the loss hits hard. So few couples have a positive bond that lasted a lifetime - you're a lucky man. May her memory be a blessing.

Alan, I'm very sorry and saddened to hear about the loss of the love of your life. I have heard many beautiful songs from you and I'm pretty sure Di was the inspiration for many of them. And I know she will be, I wish you strength to continue to make lovely music.
And what a subject to your latest song, the spring migration of birds is the best time of the year to me here in Finland and I have enjoyed hearing those familiar voices again after the long winter. You seem to have very colorful birds there, thanks for sharing information about them and the story about your songbird watching them.
The song has a nice Carole King vibe, your excellent chord progression and the lush arrangement create a beautiful image of the arriving birds, but also heartbreaking sadness of the songbird who has left forever. The dizi flute is perfect addition to your touching piece.
Janne

Hi Alan.
This is such a beautiful composition. I love the Dizi flute and the band that you have assembled to perform is perfect. As I sat at my computer with my eyes closed, you music music carried me away. The title is a perfect fit.The song is also a superb, heartfelt tribute to Di. Your creation made me feel contemplative, calm and peaceful. What a wonderful gift for Di.
My sincere condolences to you and your family on Di's passing.
--Noel

My heart aches for you hearing about Di's passing.
The love you shared with Di was evident in every word you wrote about her. It was a love that persevered and cherished every moment, and that is something truly beautiful and lasting.
With deepest sympathy
Izzy.

Beautiful and serene. I can picture Di sitting by the window watching the birds.

SC finally let me use the link and listen without logging-in. Beautiful instrumental and perfect use of the dizi.

Alan,
I'm so, so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. You were so devoted to her, your love shone from every single character/letter you wrote on this forum, about her. I'm sure that she's listening from on high, and watching over you.
The track is so beautiful. A worthy tribute, I feel. It just soars. Just like a bird does.
The flute stands out in particular, for me.
Beautiful, beautiful song. Stay strong, friend.

Alan, what a wonderful tribute
As you know God sent her those birds to view one last time.
I was watery eyed as I listened to this knowing how much you two loved each other and how much you miss her.
Loved it.
My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.

We spend a LOT of time watching and listening to birds every day.
This is a beautiful tribute to Di.
It would be hard to imagine that she has not heard it and smiled multiple times.
We hope she is surrounded by memories of you ... and humming birds.
❤️❤️❤️
