I think remember that the RT "2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere" is among the brand new tracks of PGM. I didn't see what to do with, until I heard your piece of music. Now it is very clear.
A so cool atmosphere emanates from it !

Hi Al,
We really think you succeeded in reflecting what the musical director meant.
We can imagine lots of movie images to go with this music.

Hi Floyd ...
Thank you so much. This one took a while to put together. Good to be here when I can. The chemo is keeping my very tired and sleepy all the time. I also have a lot of trouble concentrating. I'm slowly trying to get back in the groove.
Wishing you well ...
Alan
