Been a while since I posted here!  Sounds like there's still plenty of great talent on these boards.  Thanks for taking a listen to this one for me.  All feedback (even crits) welcome.
 
This is a product of my "Monday night music nights" with my friend and songwriting partner Paul Frick.  We actually tracked this back in 2015, Nov/Dec, but never did a final mix on it until a month or so ago.  We had some fun adding all the car sounds.  Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back Walt! This track is really cool, and the cars zipping around more so. This gets the award for panning.
 
I was thinking I heard some conga drums or something, but maybe just for a second? Maybe it was a synthy hi tom or something. Anyway, for more kitchen sink fun, you might add a funky conga beat somewhere, just an idearrr. You probably thought of that one already!
 
Mix is clear as crystal as usual, nice job!

Beautiful.  I was thinking of hearing this from the bandstand at a concert, sitting in a field.  Sunny day.  Really great stuff.  I might have made a tempo change around 3 minutes.  I think about 3:10 you started a guitar solo, maybe you could elaborate on that.  That seems to be the turning point in your composition and needs something more.  :D:D  Of course, it depends on your goals for it.

Nice work on this Walt (and Paul). I like the car samples, which are not too overpowering. Nicely laid back and chilled out for sure

Nice crystal clear instruments, as usual.  Seems to be a bit repetitive, though.  I was waiting for a chorus or something.  Taking another listen right now.  Yes, I like the pattern but seems there could be some chord changes.  Which car are you driving? 

Best car sound effect I've ever heard was the one where you sat in the car and there was complete silence as the car door shut with that expensive car sound. Then the purr of the engine starting. I think that would have been a bit more chill than all of the racing cars, lol.
 
Very cool track Walt! Nice Nice bass groove and the guitars are lovely.
 
Regards,
Dan

Wow!
I wish I could do that...  the entire mix is great! I need those car tracks ;)
 
Peace!

A relaxing car ride

The way this gradually gets going is really nice! Then, once it hit its groove, I pictured a movie sequence, no dialogue, just this music underscoring a somewhat sinister, sharply dressed character as he steps out into the big-city night and completes a series of odd but precisely planned tasks ....
Very cool :)

lurvely Walt - really nice, classy piece of music that never gets boring.
Good to see/hear you back.
