James, a fantastic instrumental.
A very interesting chord progression.
Super pan flute.
Your best to date IMHO.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

James, I agree - a pleasant listen. Might have been a little long, but I guess that really depends on how the tune would be used.

Man, I didn't know the pan flute had such an extended range. So well written, James. A pleasurable sound rises from the speakers, and even without your vocal it has your signature somehow still within it. Excellent work, my friend.

Janice and Bud, floyd, Brad, Marty and Bob: Thank you so much for listening and for taking the time to comment! I'm not sure that the pan flute does have such a range, Marty, but my software let me write for it like that, anyway, so ... why not push the boundaries? haha. I'm really glad that you all enjoyed it - thanks again!

James,
REALLY cool. The only issue my ears have is with the modern kick/bass drum. Like so many BIAB Real Drum sets these days the kick is EQ/captured to cut through a desne mix based on the needs of modern metal more than anything else. It reminds me of the sound the inner foil seal of a tin of Milo makes when flicked with a finger nail.
Aside from that the mix and arrangement is solid and carries the melody really well.
You've proven you skills with melody...it'd be nice if you used your voice for it too.
Nice work.
Cheers

Thanks, Ray. Yes, sometimes I have issues with the drums, too ... and sometimes I wish that some tracks sounded less "country-like", if that makes any sense. But ... the right tracks are almost always there, if one searches enough and refuses to compromise in what one dreams of creating, I think Anyway, yes, I MUST sing more. I was just worried about the vocal range, here ... I mean, I have about an octave and a half's worth of vocal range, IF that, haha ... and some of these instrumental songs allow me to push those boundaries in the solo part, in a way which I obviously can't, with my voice. That said: I MUST sing more, anyway Thank you so much for listening and commenting, once again!!! So kind of you, really.
