Now it's special coming here to read how the song came about and how it developed over time. You are the master of creating and trading solos. I especially enjoyed that organ solo. Good feel throughout.

Thanks, Marty! I've only got 2 instrumentals in my backlog, both created before "Rachael's Theme" which had to be posted this September. I don't know yet if the 1st of the 2 recent new tracks will be posted as while it works as an instrumental it's really meant to be part instrumental and part sung song, but I'm working with Lucy for vocals and that project's been delayed as she needs a demo for where to sing. But I rarely get the opportunity to record as besides having a never-goes-out neighbour on the other side of plasterboard walls we also get contractors coming in for repairs and their repairs often cause damage in the neighbouring property due to the daft build of the place! I've sung the lyrics to the song quite a few times in hushed tones and I've always been in the zone and on key, but when the only time a chance arose to record the demo I could neither get into the zone for it or even sing in the correct key as I was always waiting for hammering to begin or bangings on my wall! It's just 100% not the right environment. One option is to do a karaoke version with the lyrics in the video, but the sung version really needs to precede that. The back story of how the song came about is really interesting, then that led to my 2nd backlog instrumental, which then led to "Rachael's Theme", which is my most recent composition. Other than those I have 3 BiaB experiments in progress, but 2 of them are problematic as I keep on hearing the same chord changes I've previously used and I don't want that. IE: I listen to a new chord structure, then in the middle I hear just 1 chord change that appears in a previous track. Then X bars later on I hear another chord change I use in a different track. It's not always the same key or tempo, but the 'phrase' still sounds the same. More and more I just want to do songs, but my environment makes such virtually impossible. I'd write a blues song about it, but I'd never get to record it! laugh
