Like A BreezeWell, I posted this here about 6 or 7 hours ago and it simply disappeared. Ah ... the secrets of cyberspace! The genesis of the title is a comment Di made when I played it for her and asked her what she thought. She said, "It's like a warm breeze softly blowing in from the front door, wafting through the house and gently exiting the back door." This was a quick, one-day throw-together from several weeks ago - perhaps 3 or 4 hours collectively over a 12-hour period. It's all acoustic featuring nylon guitar on the lead.

fj HI Floyd ... Thank you so much for the very nice words. Your comments about the mix on my songs is particularly rewarding. I think you know the seriously archaic method I use for recording and mixing .... no DAW, other than what Audacity gives me. I have no third party plug-ins or contributions. And everything is done with a single pass-through. I've never once copied and pasted anything I've posted on Souncloud. Every single thing I do is on the BIAB entry page and then Audacity. After that, I'm done! Reference Di's comment: I always enjoy and appreciate the poetic spin she can put on her thoughts regarding our music. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2022. Alan

Hi, Alan. It's cold and rainy here, so a warm breeze is appreciated!  If you've got a method that works for you, why would you change it? Creating a good mix is about creating a good arrangement, by giving things room to be heard and space to breathe. You only need to work with things like EQ and compression when you haven't mixed it well in the first place. A good band "mixes itself", so to speak, by simply listening. And this sounds good!

'Al-David'... Mmm...very nice! Has a laid-back, 'journeying' feel to it, as though we were on a cruise ship sailing in and out of exotic ports-of-call. The Real Style has a sensuous sound that is sweetly amplified by the background nylon guitar track, which is so expressive that it sounded like a solo instrument performance. For you and Ms. Di, I hope your Christmas and New Year's Day celebrations are meaningful, and memorable .

Hi, Alan. It's cold and rainy here, so a warm breeze is appreciated! If you've got a method that works for you, why would you change it? Creating a good mix is about creating a good arrangement, by giving things room to be heard and space to breathe. You only need to work with things like EQ and compression when you haven't mixed it well in the first place. A good band "mixes itself", so to speak, by simply listening. And this sounds good! Hey David ... Cold and rainy in Sacramento - can't say that too often! I lived in Bakersfield 6 years and I was almost always comfortable in the dead of winter wearing just a light jacket. Come summer - almost every day was 103 - 108 - you can only take off so many pieces of clothing without going to jail or traumatizing your neighbors. I feel my method works pretty good for me. That's one reason I can create a decent song (in my opinion decent) in a matter of hours - no complications. It's also my belief that many folks obsess over perfection vs a really nice song. That's not me. I just want to create something that listeners might enjoy, regardless of the degree of perfection. If I hoped to sell songs to other musicians who are, by my definition, are perfection-obsessed, I'd be living in a tent and begging for food! So far, we've had 28 songs picked up for various uses. Thus, I guess my archaic system works as good as I need it to. Fully agree with your comment that a well-put-together song will, more or less, mix itself. But you ought to see all the work I do behind the chord input sheet! Most of the fade-ins/fade-outs, tone adjustment, manually-induced "compression", etc. are done that way. I use Audacity primarily as a way to convert my SGU to a wave file and adjust overall volume. Very occasionally I will do some extra EQ and mild compression in Audacity, but not often. Anyway, thanks for all; the supportive comments. I appreciate all your comments. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Alan

Hey Guys! I always look forward to your comments. "Lovely" is a very nice word - thank you. From the couple of videos you've posted, you seem to have a real nice piece of property. Looks like you're dang near off the grid! I'm not a coffee drinker, but Di has one cup every morning. I'll be 75 in March and I've drunk, perhaps, 10 or 12 cups of coffee in my life. I pop the top on an ice cold Dr Pepper within 2 minutes of my feet hitting the floor. Wishing both of you the very best and a fantastic 2022. Alan & Di

Hi Alan, thrown together in 3 or 4 hours? That's the time I need for sitting down in front of my PC, run BIAB and start thinking alone  ... Man, you really know how to come up with most loveable songs - your talent seems to know no bounds. I think Di caught the feel and nailed it with that title. Really so lovely. All the best to Di and you - we'll keep in contact. Stefan
