Delicacy I haven't spent much time in Colorado, but I love how the mountains are right there like that... I always thought that would be a cool setting. Great playing, and I like how the reverb gives the recording a warm, open space quality. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

I'm just plugging my guitar straight into a Line 6 Tone Port.The reverb comes from that.I guess I was trying to get a Pat Metheny-type sound.Really glad you like the song. Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

Congratulations on your new daughter!I heard "Happy Pappy" which is great. I have worked a lot on keeping my right hand thumb independent so I can play a seperate bass line and kind of sound like 2 guitars. I highly appreciate your comments.Thanks! Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

Into my Mark Stunkel collection You are one of the artists here whose music I download before I listen, because the quality of your composing and playing is so high. This is beautifully and sensitively played. It is very easy and very pleasant to give myself over to this song to let it take me where you intended. Thank you for the journey.

I have only visited Boulder once, but it was a lovely place as your music so very clearly reflects. This piece is a tender offering that I find captures the magic, calm, and wonder of being in that special place at that formative time. It has an almost golden hour of the setting sun feel to it. Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing and keep well, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Most beautiful place in the world, I'd say Especially for a kid growing up. And this piece reflects on that reality. Beautiful writing, wonderfully played, and excellently recorded Mark.

One of the nice things... ...about you being named 'Mark Stunkel' is that it's so easy, after I download your latest tune, to add it to my MacJams playlist, my MacJams Favorites playlist, my MacJams Instrumental playlist, and my MacJams Acoustic Instrumental playlist, (even though that last one is cheating, it's my playlist, and I do what I please with it)...and then drop it into my Mark Stunkel playlist... You always have tremendous feel and tone, Mark, and a great sense of melody and harmony... Soon we will teach you to embed the graphic element in your mp3 in iTunes, and you will be the fully realized bionic musician... Nice mountains. Bet you can spot Double Domed Reversed Lesser Pileated Baublesnatchers in mountains like that...

Actually I believe that the DDRLPB has been extinct since 1952.Yes sometime let me know how to imbed photos. As always thanks for your comments and for giving me high ratings to counteract the vote vote bomber(s) who seem to hate everything I post.Actually I think it's quite funny-reminds me of the guy who came up to me at a solo guitar gig and asked me to play the "Achy-Breaky Heart".

Boulder, CO... ...is one of my favorite cities. Climbed the Flatirons. Lots of hiking and the nightlife's great. And this piece is great. Just a perfect blend of technique, emotion, and painting of the picture. This is beautiful, Mark. And extremely well played. Your guitar shines... Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral

Wistful Memory Very pleasant and relaxed tune, Mark and played in a style that adds purity... and clarity... to the piece.

| Ibstrat said 737 days ago (November 2nd, 2007) | |
|
You are right about the dynamics-I should pay more attention to that.It's a little tricky cause I'm using really light strings because of left hand problems.Playing too hard makes them buzz,playing too soft gives no sound.Glad you liked the song anyway! Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

Heavy Weather What a great album-"A Remark You Made" is one of my favorites.A few other musical selections which have always affected me(totally unrelated)-Dvorak-Serenade for Strings in E major,Tony Bennett singing "Waltz for Debby" with Bill Evans.Duane Allman's solo in"Blue Sky", Lester Young's solo on "Lady be Good" with Count Basie's small group,Julian Bream playing Britten's "Nocturnal". I am pleased and honored that you like my music-I don't know anything about recording.To have someone like you who knows it inside out pay attention to what I am doing is amazing. Thanks!
