This is very smooth, the way I like my smooth jazz. This could be a Kenny G song.

This is very tasty!

Al,

Smooth jazz isn't my cup of tea but I still enjoyed listing to this ... twice! Great to see you're publishing songs again. Good luck in the competition!

I'm just happy I'm no longer the only contender in that particular category! laugh

Seriously though, that was such a treat of a listen, a real "ear candy", as we call it in my language.

I immediately recognized you were using the same style as I used in my jazz entry. But good luck with the competition anyway smile The chord progression is really beautiful, actually somehow reminds me of Elton John's Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, one of my all time favorites. The sax completes your excellent work.

Hi Mario.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for - The Kenny G sound. I appreciate all those very nice words!

Hi Janne,

Thank you very much. I've been without Internet for five days. Will listen to your song real soon. And good luck to you, too!

"Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word" is my favorite Elton John song. I've sung it many time. Thank you again.

Alan
