Mike,

A nice composition. Again, as with so much of what you do... I would guess you put a lot of work into what you produce...

The piano seemed to get "lost in the mix" at times. I liked your use of the cello. The harmonica got to be "a bit much" to my ears after a while - but that's probably just me - never been a big fan of the chromatic harmonica as a main instrument... (your drums sounds good!)

Nice work.

I agree with Floyd across the board here, Mike... the work you put into your productions shows, and this really an interesting production from start to finish. Substituting another instrument for the harmonica for at least part of the song would have provided some ear relief and added the kind of change-up most songs need.

I thought your choice of instruments was very good. Not being a jazz musician, I probably don't know what to listen for. But what I hear sure sounds good to me. I like the chord progression quite a bit.

Thanks Floyd and Pat, agreed wit the observations. I'll probably re-work it and post it again.

Mike

Liked the melody and playing. Agree that a break to another instrument might give it even a bit more polish.

Nice work though.

Trevor

Cool melody and an effective mix.
Enjoyed it over the morning coffee.

I simply love this!! This should be a movie soundtrack. Lovely melody. The emotion would go perfectly with a video scene with no dialog. My favorite Cuban Pete number to date! Take care. Greg
