    Very smooth, Donny.  The arrangement and the mix just sparkle.  This is the kind of music that could calm anyone's nerves after a hectic day.  I've always enjoyed your music, and this is one of the best!

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Very nice work Don. Really like it when the piano comes in. To be honest, I'd like to hear a bit more soloing to add more of a melody, but this sounds quite nice the way it is. Clean mix, well placed and spaced instruments.
     
    Regards,

    Thanks very much for the listen Dan.  I was thinking the same thing about additional melody.  May give that a whirl this evening.

    I like the very upbeat hook going on through this. The mix is good on my end. I can hear some horns in this jumping in at the end of the hook, ok as is too.

    I'm not a fan of the synth sounds, or the drum sounds but your playing is super. The piano has a bit of a Vince Guaraldi vibe in places :-) Good job.

    It's a happy tune!  The main hook sort of reminds me of game music.    
     
    Nice playing throughout and very catchy melody.   I like the piano part about half way thru, very cool.

    Definitely upbeat. Sort of Schroeder grows up and drives the convertible to SoCal with the top down.
    A pleasant reprieve from a rough day at work. I really like that bit that starts around 1:30.
    Very nice.

    Nice bit of chill music, not to taxing to listen but with enough interest to keep listening.
     
    Nice job all round.

    Love the bass parts around 1.40. Agree, it needs some melodies on top in places. Fun sounding tune.
