Hey James -- some excellent changes in this -- particularly that mid-section guitar semi-wah thing -- very nice.  This was a good listen that I enjoyed !!

Thanks Allan. An old song called 'Mirror in the Bathroom' by The Beat inspired that mid-section. Funny what comes to mind sometimes!

James, I don't mind telling you that I wish that I had thought of this.  I keep trying to get those sweet tones, but I just come up short.  All in all, very creative and fun to listen to.

Well thanks Lynn, I appreciate that. We all have things that we admire in others; for instance, you can sing, and write songs, and I wish I could do either

That was pretty cool...   I really enjoyed the change-up in the middle section from the surrounding bookends.  Great way to change moods without sounding like a different tune.   Great work all around from performance to mix.    Oh, and the monks rock.

James - hi. This is great - so very cleaver writing. All the instruments are played so nice - this is one of the best I've heard on this site in a while.
 
Great tune.

Hi, James,
 
It's been a while since I've been back here on the forum, and this classy instrumental is just the welcome I need to remind to check in here more often!
 
Lovely melodies, exquisite guitar tones, and tasty playing, as always from you, and our buddy, Bapsi did a dynamite job on the bass, too boot!  The mix sounds absolutely perfect to me, and the monks were an interesting element to break up the passages, very nice!
 
Excellent job, guys, another sonic gem!
Bob

Thanks Steve! I must try and break out of my standard ''first bit/2nd bit/different bit/repeat first & 2nd bit/fade '' scenario on the next one . Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi James,
 
I've always liked the way you play guitar
 
You always have a real nice tone . You always play simple tasty guitar parts that fit better than anything that would be more complex in a guitar part and you play melodic singing expressive guitar tones....
 
Ed's Bass playing sounds fantastic in the funky section ..
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
