Smooth transitions between the different parts. The ambient gritty fits in well with the styling. Relaxing but edgy.

Alan,

Gosh, I am so, so sorry about Di. You have my deepest condolences, and I wish you nothing but the best going forward.

The tune is your usual outstanding production, but really like the rock feel to it, giving it a bit more teeth and edge. Lovely guitar work . . . melodically compelling. Just a great listen!!

Stay well friend, and keep up with the music . . . it’s gonna help!

My very best to you,

Deej

Howdy,

Thanks so much for the kind visit.

I don't frequent that site very often any more where Di's song is located. I found out they changed their policy. To listen now you have to have an account. A free listening account is available if you would like to do so.

And yes, this is my musical home. You folks are like extended family.

Best to you,

Alan

Hi Scott ...

I appreciate the visit and listen. "Ambient grit" is a perfect moniker for the style. I'm delighted you enjoyed it.

Take care,

Hi Floyd,

Your comments always leave me wondering how to properly reply. I appreciate your kindness to my efforts. Will a sincere "Thank you so very much!" suffice for at least an adequate response?" Please believe me - it is, indeed, sincere.

I'm still struggling a bit with Dui's passing. In all those years we were married, we had only one significant disagreement. I think if I'd asked God for the perfect wife, he would have replied, "You already have her." And he would have been right.

Wishing you and Deb the very best.

Alan

Hi Deej,

It's always a delight to hear from you. Thank you for those really nice comments on the song. I spent more time than usual on this one - about 8 - 10 hours.

Di passed peacefully from the associated complications of dementia. It's so much more than memory loss. She still recognized family and close friends almost until the end. This big old four-bedroom, three-bath house is pretty lonely without her. But, I'm slowly working my way back. it's what she would want.

All the best,

Alan

Alan,

As Janice & Bud say, this song is truly worthy of this showcase.
The chord progression is fantastic and matches this RT style very well.
Perhaps because of it, the generated guitar solo is also wonderful and melancholic.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

It's always a pleasure to hear something new from you, Alan.
A beautiful and relaxing instrumental, a little sad, but considering your feelings, exactly what music is for.
