    Thanks for listening.....
     
    Yeah, I find that most of the music I listen to is like that..... leave it for a while and come back after a long absence and it really sounds good.

    I do tend to wear things out when I'm working on them from the acoustical "in my ear" point of view.... so getting away from the song for a time is the perfect prescription.

    Hey...thanks everyone for coming in and having a listen.  Both those who have heard this before and those listening for the first time.
     
    TAP.... to specifically answer what have I been doing if not recording christmas music...... this has been a slower year for writing. I have a few new things and a couple on the stove simmering.  I found out earlier in the late summer that some of my music is now being used in film and TV so I have started working on writing more cues.   Essentially keeping a lower profile on the net and around here....I don't post too much new music since no one wants to hear a 30 second made for TV cue......... it's  not that I'm trying to hide, just hanging out chilling out.  If you look further down this page.... I have a song down there somewhere called Heaven's Angel that was an experiment in writing.

    Thanks for asking.

    Nice!   I really liked this.   Just completely solid and "pro" in every way from composition to performance to arrangement to mix.   The guitars are a standout of course, but I also really liked those piano lines, particularly the one leading into the guitar solo.
