Description

Smokey's lovely tune, my version. Actually, this must be about the twentieth version I've done! The last one was a monumental church organ effort, but someone beat me to it! So this is just a mix I like. It's a wonderful melody and I've really enjoyed playing around with it. I hope I haven't spoiled it. Any crits or suggestions gratefully received, of course.

Thanks for listening! :)

	elegant synthness I like it... Smokey's tune is one of those timeless beauties (already!), and you did a great job choosing little synth sparkles here and there to augment the main structure, without going overboard... very nice to listen to! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

	Very nice and festive Lovely gentle music you have made hear. I know that you like bell sounds, so I think its fitting that you made this rather then the organ. Short but sweet track Dave, very nice. Well done. Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)
