Really nice, Ron. Such a comfort. I feel the warmth, the waves, the drink
in your hand. Delightful and pleasant smooth jazz.

Thank You, Tobin &mdash 06/26/06 - 09:50:12 AM
Thanks again for your encouraging words. Yes, I'm particularly happy
with this song and how it turned out. It's a bit formulaic and I admit it,
but every now and then it's good just to have a nice, simple jam session
with oneself. Thanks again.

A pleasant tune to lounge to on a lazy afternoon.

Two remarks. The piano solo is too short. Give the man some chance to
express himself!

All the repetitions of the theme/hook are a bit much. Initially you have it
four times in a row. I would varied the fourth time. Same comment applies
later on.

But hey, this was a joy to listen to.

And don't forget the beer. On second thought, maybe a cocktail.

The joy in this piece is undeniable and wonderfully contagious.

Thanks, Charlie &mdash 06/27/06 - 03:34:44 PM
Thanks for the nice words, Charlie. Having someone think of my work as
"contagious" is a real honor. Thanks again.

Another excellent tune &mdash 07/25/06 - 01:57:30 PM
I like the melody line, it's very interesting and thought through (or at least sounds like it was), gentle proof of the fact that the real composition does need a melody, not only an improvised solo over some chords... very pretty.

Thanks! &mdash 07/25/06 - 03:53:28 PM
Thanks for the kind words. I believe that melody is important, too. I generally like to put off all the soloing stuff until the end. Thanks again!

An oasis for my soul! &mdash 03/03/08 - 07:11:13 AM
Ummm, I know where I want to be right now! I can feel the sand between my toes, and the taste of an orange on my lips. Simply beautiful!
