I did this yesterday for our new Finnish friend, Dani. He's heard it and enjoyed it. Welcome, Dani, my friend.

It's the first tune on my SoundClick site.

Comments a constructive criticism welcomed.

Hi, Don, my friend


I think it is a marvellous tune
and I feel more than honoured
for your dedication !:) I am
waiting eagerly for the lyrics
so that I can sing this tune
about how distances do not mean
anything for true friends !:)

Thank you Don so much and also for
your warm words of welcome!:)

Cheers
Dani

Hi Don
Very cute tune. I also look forward to you dreaming up some lyrics and letting Dani have a go at singing them.
Well done Don

Hi Don,

Nice tune.
But you didn't play the mandolin, did you?
If so, it's cute.

Hi Don
I really enjoyed this.
I guess the Mandolin Lead is RT. I love the way it all sits so well together.
A bluegrass style for you maybe but to us over here in the UK it could so easily be converted into an Irish Waltz with a fiddle Lead.
Excellent, my friend.

Don,

That is quite the "enjoyable listen". I think Ian is right, it does have that Irish flair to it.. Do they have mandolins in Finland?

No Floyd - they have Huskies! Lol !
Nurse! Nurse!
Goodnight all
Ian

Hi, Floyd and Ian ! (Lol):)

Certainly we do have mandolins but
I think that the Kantele is the true
finnish string instrument ?

Lol
Dani

Very nice flow to this waltz.

Good job Don!

Hi Don,

Wonderful. To me it sounded like the melody was 6/8 and played against a 3/4 accompaniment. It certainly fitted incredibly well. This is a very engaging piece of music. Loved it.

Regards,
Noel
