Nice atmosphere in this one!
I get Twin Peaks nostalgia when I listen to it!
It's very dreamy and nice! :)

I'm well acquainted with this sentiment, and you have expressed it nicely.
I have no doubt that if the tide were reversed, Chocolate Brown would feel the same way about you.

Loved the arrangement. At first it gave me a melancholy feeling, then toward the end more uplifting and positive. Emotionally evocative.

Very nice track with a great feel - I'm thinking you had a lucky dog. One minor observation, the piano at about 1:90 had a wee bit of harshness (on my system) you might want to tinker with a bit.

Mike: Thanks for listening, the harshness I suspect has something to do with the MP3 I have tried the wave file on a couple of systems and it is not apparent, there is some discord create using some sus4 and sus2 chords. Rik: My thanks and the complement re tone and reverb. Scott: Thanks my friend.

This is beautiful and a wonderful tribute. Makes me miss my dogs.
Have you considered eq'ing the piano a little to get rid of some of the high frequencies? Beautiful guitar tone and great use of synths too. Lovely!

Thank you Janet, you are the second to mention harshness in the piano I will have to go have another look. Perhaps with X1b it might be stable enough to give it a try.

Man, Wookiee, this was very well done. Your emotion is well expressed on this tune. Great balance of instrumentation and performance. Nice mix. ( Love the tone you choose for the guitar ). The ethereal pads are a pleasant alternative to strings which would probably have worked but not nearly as well. It gives it just the right setting for the song.

very nice tribute.
a good friend of mine's black lab, just passed away yesterday.
i think this song would make him smile, i'll pass it along.
like the somber playing, doesn't sound sad as much as it does sound.... wistful.
nice clean mix.
and nice choice of verb on the solo guitar part.....
