I was messing around with this number and suddenly it was there. Must have been dreaming.

Very nice Mick. Good tuneful and musical feel.
Well done, I enjoyed it.

You've done it again Mick, beautiful. Top of my wife's request list for August's NESGF !!!

Thanks for the comments boys.

Sometimes I think we try to over complicate things in our playing and I for one am very guilty of that. A sort of "Hey look at me folks - aint I good?" Well this song in particular brought me down to earth. It's interesting that when guitar magazines hold a poll for the best guitar solo of whenever, it's never the complicated string tapping and pulling that get in the list. It is always the most beautiful and soulful solos that win hands down.

There is the old adage that it is not what you put in that counts, it's what you leave out. Doing this recording brought it home to me where I have come to the end of a phrase and just held the note for as long as I could and perhaps with a subtle twist of the bar at the end, was far more effective than some of the notes I had put in to fill the space previously. I know what I prefer.

Let it ring.

Very very nice Mick. Lovely tune.

Mick,
if you ever think about recording a CD of tunes like this, put me down for a copy please.
So relaxing, many thanks.
David
