What a moving piece, this transformed me into feelings of melancholy and thoughts of yesteryear in an instant (think I’m just a depressive sort ). Playing and production sounds great. If there is any justice in the world you have got to have this in the bag !!!All the BestRich

Hi Sandra! Because of your name I was waiting for vocals, ha ha. Beautiful, beautiful nostalgic piece. Is that you on guitar?

Thanks very much guys for the warm welcome and kind feedback. I didn't really know where I was at in terms of industry standards prior to joining and it's a relief to find that I'm heading somewhere toward the right direction!
