Back At It
Those of you whom have been around for awhile may remember that JonD and I did a number of songs together. Unfortunately for the past two years JonD has had some major health issues. He has been in hospital a lot in that time period. He was feeling much better and came over last week. We came up with this chord progression. I was going to play my part and when JonD got back into playing shape he was going to add his part. Unfortunately he is back in the hospital so I finished the song. BiaB style = Slow Soul - Smooth Jazz - Soulful Tempo = 65 BPM I deleted the guitar track Bass - Ample - Upright Piano - EZ Keys - Dream Machine - preset Dream Weaver Drums and percussion - various drums that I have Me - Guitar Me - via my wind controller - Swam - Bari sax
I went line dancing last night. Well it was a roadside sobriety test, same thing.

Glad to see you're back at it, Mario. This is a very relaxing piece. Your sax sounds much more realistic than my various sound samples by Reason. very nice guitar work. Well done.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

That's tough, Mario. I don't know JonD, but he surely seems inspirational. I love the changes and that sax is really special. Your tasteful guitar is always the star of the show, and you included the perfect supporting cast.

Good stuff Mario...as usual your touch is always so cool...your sensibilities with a melody makes each piece you do so good...what do you have to know to play a wind controller (flute, sax,??)...I'd like to learn to do that.
