There were two surprises in your song; first the banjo and then the violin. They are both doing a very good job in this song. Like that!

Hi Hans.

Green is also a colour that sits very well on my psyche. I went to a high school that had a uniform based around a green jumper and I've often wondered, over the years, if maybe that brainwashed me into liking green. Come to think of it, that's probably why I chose green as the colour for happiness! Thanks for your comment about the banjo and the violin smile They came about purely from a 'trial and error' approach. That's what I like most about BIAB. There are so many good sounds to choose from.

I appreciate your visit and your time. Thank you.

I like all the percussion you added and the banjo and fiddle added the right touch.

Hi Marty.

While I didn't set out to write this song around nature, the words and the colour eventually led me there. I'm really pleased they did because Mother Nature really does highlight the importance of 'green'. Thanks for your comments, especially your comment about production. I struggle with production. It never seems to get any easier. Eventually, I just get to place where everything sounds reasonable and I'm ready to move on to another song smile

Thank you for dropping by.

Hi John,

Thank you for taking the time to listen and for your kind comments. I will never listen to this song again without imagining that I'm sitting in the front room of a cottage. In fact, your comment reminded me of a cottage in Tasmania that I used to live in. It was built in the 1890s and had a really warm, comfortable atmosphere. Your words filled my mind with lots of great past memories smile Thanks for those!
