Al,
Moody and classy - don`t think I`ve heard that Brent Mason lead before. Are you looking for licensing with all your instrumentals?

I really like the art choice you made for this track. While I wouldn't say that "sad" was the immediate emotion that came to mind, I would say "moody" is quite fitting! As always, this piece is amazing no matter what emotion it reminds the listener of. I certainly enjoyed it more than just a bit, and really liked the guitar in this one especially.
Thanks for sharing another amazing song.
Cheers, Ember

Alan,
That is a great listen. Like Robert, I think that soloist has "slipped by me"... glad you used it - and used it so well... Awesome.
Excellent mix. Terrific listen. Really nice...

Nice. Man are you going for a song a day??? Hey David ... Thanks - glad you liked it. I "could" do a song a day; but I always wait 2 - 4 days between so as not to hog the board. I have a couple of dozen ready to go. When I was being assaulted by 8 months of chemo, I composed about 60 instrumentals, some of which I've already posted. And recently, I've spent quite a bit of time with BIAB. The sad part is I have 7 or 8 ready for Di but her health has deteriorated so badly she just can't sing any more except on the rarest of occasions. It's sadly because I rarely get to hear angelic voice any more. OK, I've blabbed enough. Thanks again! Best to you and yours. Alan

Robert Hi Robert, Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate that. And I ran across this Brent Mason track purely by accident. I was looking for a Pat Mathey track for a different song when I happened to see this one. I listened to it and told myself I really need to write something using that track because it's so danged good. This is what I ended up with. I'm trying to license about half of my songs. The other half simply aren't of the quality needed for licensing. They're just songs i enjoyed doing. I currently use three avenues to submit for licensing: Songtrdr, Broadjam and a lady I know up in New Jersey. So far, I've had two songs licensed over the past couple of years. It's not that many or that much money, but it has bought me a few steaks dinners and made several car payments! Best to you, Alan

Thanks for sharing another amazing song. Hi Ember! Awwwww! You always say the nicest things. Thank you. I'm glad this one rests nicely in your ears. And you might be right about "sad". perhaps I should rethink that particular word. I'm beyond happy it "amazed' you. That's a real nice compliment. Wishing you and everyone at PG Music the very best. Always a delight to hear from you. Alan

fj Hi Floyd, Thank you so much. I like this one quite a bit myself. Brent came through for me! he's pretty good, ya know. The mix was the hardest part on this one. It was difficult to get the rhythm section, primarily piano and guitar. It was a very narrow range where they set such that they were audible but not overbearing. Electric pianos and B3 organs are always a task for me, as far as mixing. Not sure why, but they are. I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. Thanks for letting me know. Best to you and yours, Alan

No really, this time we thought you played the solo yourself, 'cause we couldn't tell if it was a real guitarist playing or a realtrack! That means.... you've done EXCELLENT work with this soloist!

Rob and Anne-Marie Hi there! Thanks for taking a listen ... glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my favorites of the instrumentals I've composed in recent months. And you are correct ... the tracks sounds like a live player. I was quite surprised and pleased with the sound. Thanks again. Wishing both of you the very best. Alan

Those newish "simple" solo guitar tracks are great - as evidenced by the fine use you put this one to.
Nice, mellow and would seem to fit in a variety of "placement" situations.
Enjoyed it!

J&B Hi J&B! Thanks for the kindness shown! I ran across that particular Brent Mason track while looking for a Pat Matheny track. I'd never seen it before, so I clicked onto it immediately loved it. I put the other track aside and worked this one out instead. And yes, it is a rather simple, straightforward sound. I'm glad you two liked it. I've already loaded it up at Songtrdr and will wait for the right opportunity to come along to submit for a placement. Wishing you both the very best, Alan
