HaHAHa! Love that Santo title, but here they are sleepwalking to a better progression. I VI IV V is for dreamers. What a wonderfully relaxing stroll, Mario. You really know how to have fun.

This is a really nice one again Mario.
Great steel guitar.
Good job!
Anne-Marie Thanx so much Anne-Marie for these very nice words. Mario...the lap steel is very convincing and played so well...getting good sounding guitar work from a keyboard is a real challenge I know...very relaxing and mesmerizing feel...good job as usual...you're the master of the MIDI! Thanx for listening and commenting. I am but a MIDI hacker just having fun with MIDI since the mid 1980s. I'm still learning! One of my favorite bands back then. Slow dancing for sure, lots of memories. Loved the tune and playing.
Mike B. One of my favorite bands also Mike. I didn't dance much because I was always playing in bands. I still can't dance!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario, This is great! So relaxing. Me being a pedal steel player I am in love with the sound. It is absolutely amazing what you get out of your keyboard. This very convincing. I always loved Sleepwalk. Oh yeah I'm that old, Tom Thanx so much Tom. Having you say that the lap steel sounding convincing really made my day. I've always loved playing Sleepwalk, but on my guitar with lots of reverb and slides!

Mario,
It's a very relaxing song.
The rap steel makes it sound like a country song, but the chord progression is a little more complicated.
It's surprising that you can express the sound of lap steel with your MIDI keyboard.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanx Shigeki for the very kind review. All it takes to get a good MIDI sound is a good MIDI sound source and some MIDI knowledge. It's not that hard. I'm old, yeah they were good, yes this is really nice. Yes they were really good. Thanx for listening. Hi Mario.
I remember Santo and Johnny playing on our first TV. Monochrome, one channel only.
I loved "Sleepwalk" and it's quite an accomplishment to get that sound on a keyboard.
Vic Yic, I think most all of us "oldie but goodies" remember Sleepwalk. I'm glad that you like this.

Santo and Johnny were an influence to my early music preferences. Enjoyed what you've put together here.
Charlie Santo and Johnny was a influence on my playing back in the good ol' times, as was Duane Eddy. Maybe he will be my next project.

Strolling along Silver Beach and slow dancing in the old Shadowland Ballroom.
Your lap steel is captivating.
Another great one, Mario!

As you said, a pleasant simple song. Yes that VSTi is excellent. There are a number of VSTis from Indiginus that are on my "To buy" list. Everything that I have purchased from them is excellent.

Wow Mario, that steel is incredible. You did such a good job with it I never would have guessed it was done with a keyboard! There are even several places where I could swear I'm hearing the bar slide up or down the strings. Incredible. I'll have to take your word for it being easy, it doesn't sound that way to me - just another excellent job by Mario.

It really was easy to play that VSTi. A good VSTi and a little MIDI experience can do wonders. Mario

We got it!
Mario, that steel sound is excellent.
We much like an ethereal steel and have often used RT's with that vibe.
Your work with it is very convincing and it sits nicely with all the other tracks in a mix that sounds great on the monitors.
Well done,
J&B

Another excellent instrumental
Very cool use of the steel. NICELY done!

Pretty song Mario. The groove to this song is very addictive. The lapsteel provided a very cool texture to the piece. Well done

This is so beautiful. Absolutely beautiful - I really enjoyed. I'm not old enough for the Santo reference, haha ;-) ... but this is nevertheless a somehow soothing, beautiful song. Bravo.
