Another wonderful variation on the beauty you create, Carl. I really like what the ukulele adds--subtle but effecive. And the piano keep the heart open while the real magic happens in those fingers on your guitars. Cool changes, and I hear some James Delsono movements in there. Brilliant throughout, Carl.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Carl!
Another soothing and melodic piece from you. I love the repeated melody stepping up over the diminished (?) chord and also the use of the minor iv chord (I think). Those backing instruments are are good touch - ticking along underneath the melody.
Good one!

Marty - I thought that might be too loosely played to generate
any comments at all (total freeplay), the only structure was the
chords, anyway very glad you approved - thank you Marty!!

BDT - you took the words right out of my son's mouth,
almost exactly in fact. He came home worn out and
found this one relaxing & soothing after a tough day.
Thanks a lot for taking a listen,

Cheers, Carl

Thanks Andrew - the only structure was my chords, the rest was very
loosely played over the top! Perhaps that 'looseness' is part of why
it's perceived as relaxing - I don't know, anyway that's how it came
out and I quite like to post things which are 'not perfect' (warts'n all
as they say), keep it reel I say.
Appreciate your comments very much,

Carl

Another beautiful, super-relaxing instrumental. Didn't have TV on with WildEarth visuals, but this music is perfect for nature visuals.
