	Beautiful work Nice collaboration. Mandolin worked great with this song which is very cool because I never heard a mandolin on a bossa nova before. Guitar playing also great and a nice mix of that with the piano. I don't know how you could have made it any better. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	sounds great Nice relaxing melody for a watm sunny day by the sea. Very good sound from those instruments. THe only thing I'd recommend is to remove the very fist section of mandoline; let it come in as it does later to let the music build. This is a very pleasing piece of music to listen to. Thanks for sharing. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	very laid back this meanders, doesn't really go anywhere, but where is there to go? you're already here, in the middle of these beautiful sounds. Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

	Really liked it This was so relaxed and beautiful. My only critique is that the shaker in the background got distracting because it didn't always line up with the rhythm of the other instuments. Check out my latest song called Monica's Waltz

nice choice of sounds...
...but I couldn't get past the out-of-synch shakers
throughout the piece. It was very unsettling. The piano
panned all the way to the right also seemed a bit far away,
as though the piano was playing in the next room.

The mandolin also seemed a bit out of synch with the
piano, perhaps because of the panning.

All that said....this is still a very pleasing combination of
sounds. I just wish they were synched better.

It's very interesting to hear the mandolin play bossa. I
hope you do another tune with this combination of
instruments.

	Refreshing Happy, lifting entertainment. You two have skills. Just a couple strikes of the mandolin seemed a bit off pitch or dissonant. Other than that, wow.

Refreshing
There are indeed a couple of fluffed notes on my part. Or more. I'm always in
a hurry. I should calm down maybe. Though the actual dissonances are
deliberate, for better or worse. It was a real pleasure though to do. I only
discovered MJ a few weeks ago and the idea of collaborating with such an
out-of-my-league jazz player as kcsaito seems pretty miraculous to me -
especially as I'm in no
position to communicate much verbally with him. He simply sent through his
chord charts and the GB file. I realise that to many of you who've been here a
while that's pretty normal, but to me it's incredible. Deep respect to MJ.

What I really like about keishi saito's music is the way you can really hear him
improvising - especially in his sometimes quite eccentric timings. He really
went for this on drunken piano blues, which is a track I love. Compared to a
lot of software-driven productions, his music always seems very alive.

Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

	Delicate and precious Excellent. Delicate and precious. Such grace. Very simple and clean and eloquent. I especially like what seems like the sound of your breathing in the background. Sighs... Such wonderful pluckiness. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)
