	I'm On The Train great stuff. excellent build. would never expect to find a bambu flute in a piece like this, but did, and enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

I'm On The Train
Thanks. I've had that flute for some seventeen years but never used it in any
music of mine until this track and the one I uploaded the other day, "Whisper
Evermore".

I was inspired by your "Redwing" to include the ambient Texas sounds at the
begining and end. I recorded the sound at a cabin I lived in outside of Austin
a few years ago.

	Laid back tune... for late in the day. Really liked your easy paced guitar playing. And the flute was a great addition. Gives the song a bit of wistful longing for slower paced times. Jack

	Wow Almost makes me wanna' pack my bags and move to Texas! Wonderful intimate soundscape that feels simple, yet sounds a little more complex. I was especially fond of the introduction of the second, deeper guitar. Check out my latest song called With You

	Nifty Guitar Work You get some really good sounds out of that guitar. Very tastefuly played, too. The ambient Texas sounds sound more like a hiss at the beginning on my system, but I can hear something at the end. Don't know if that's what you intended.

	Nifty Guitar Work I know what you mean about the sound in the begining. It's the sound of rain but it's a little too much like white noise. I guess I'll change that. Thanks. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Well captured Great piece, I love the ambient textures you brought in. There was a bit too much line noise (not sure if it was intentional) for me, but I never liked the betales because there recording quality was so bad. I've driven across Texas many times, and it felt like I was there again. Check out my latest song called Vickys Song

	Organic and alive Excellent. Organic and warm, alive and peaceful. Such a nice blend of textures, surprising and wonderful. (only thing, a loop repeats during the fade out, or seems to, a kind of gear grinding sound, which distracts from the wonderfully biological sense of the piece.) So satisfying, this. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	nice work It's hard to beat a nice accoustic guitar sound. I like that additional sounds that creep in and out. I don't normally appreciate instrumentals, but this is a great piece. Check out my latest song called I Live

	summer day near the tracks you have such an even thumb when picking, no easy thing. interesting layers and sounds. birds, trains in the distance, summer day. nice, for the dead of winter. Check out my latest song called Rock The Baby With Voodoo (w/Tobin)

	great sounds man, some of the best acoustic guitar recordings -- pro or am -- i've heard. seriously. so many times they sound overprocessed and/or thin, but yours sounds rich and inspiring. loved the track. and you know your way aroud the fret board, too, fo sho. 8 10 8 9 Check out my latest song called Let Me In (Again)

	great stands strongly. Don´t think you could add or take anything from it. Very natural and for me very enjoying. What I enjoy the most is the beat I end up feeling from your guitar playing (underlying) and at the same time having it slow down and speeds up melodically as it builds. thanks for sharing this. 8 8 8 8 download jo Check out my latest song called mis bolsillos

	Excellent... instrumental piece here. Flute could come forward in the mix a bit. But really soothing and enjoyable. Thx fer sharing this one.

	very nice Thanks, Thew. I'm glad you got what I was going for. And thanks to everyone who has stopped by to comment. Sorry for the lack of replies to many of you. I read them all and really appreciate them. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Beautiful Beautiful song. I love the way it lazily drifts along, gives it a great country feel. Again impressed that you do so much with so little and are able to bring such musical complexity out of subtle riffs and melodies. The slide guitar is a great touch. Check out my latest song called What I Love About You (Lonely Blues)
