Hi All, long time no see ; )  due to medical reasons I had to re-learn to play the guitar, i'm not quite there yet but this is the first recording that's not completely horrible.  Anyway have a listen if you dare ; )
 
thanks for listening ; )

Rik,
 
Good to hear you playing again.  Very enjoyable listen.    Too short though, had to have a few listens through to get enough of it:)   I would buy a CD of your music and listen all day at work....
 
Regards

Very Nice Rik 
 
I can hear the heartfelt passion in your guitar playing .
 
I'm glad your back .

Hi Mark, thanks so much for listening, glad you think it's to short ; )
 
Hi Kenny,thanks, glad to be back .
 
Rik

Very beautiful. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I dread the day it happens to me. Good to have you playing again!
 
Regards,
Dan
 

Hi Dan, thanks for listening. I almost gave up playing, sold my classical guitars, had a sulk, listened to what Django could play with two fingers , decided to start again. I bought a really easy playing Ovation with extra light strings and plan to keep playing until the Neuropathy shuts me down ; )

I do love the sound you have Rikkie you have a touch on your guitar that is sweet and heartfelt.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the nerves I suffer two in the hands some days but I think not to the extent you have.
 
So good to hear you back playing again my friend always a pleasure.

Hi John, thanks for listening. Luckily my hands are not as bad as my lower legs. So far I can still use my index and middle fingers and a bit of my left hand ringfinger.

Rikkie, you do more with those three digits than I could do with all the fingers and toes of me, my wife and my dog. This is very beautiful work, and yeah, it's too short.  Please keep at it, and when you can't play anymore, keep writing and hire somebody to play it for you. Music's in the heart, not in the hands, and you've got it, sir.

I like the length, but it ended at a point that you could launch a C section or another *mini-movement*.  Personally, I think some people are obnoxious expecting their listeners to wade through their compositions.  I remember many, many concerts that I wanted to end by intermission because the composing was so obnoxious.  Of course a great composer can keep an audiences attention for much longer a period.  That's my goal ultimately, but if one feels he  can't do it, don't just fill your score with dots for 20 minutes.
 
I have a recommendation, if you're a professional.  Write a solo guitar version of this where the melody is along the top strings(?)  There's a good market these days for solo (classical or jazz) guitar works.  Those compositions, except with great rarity last only 3-6 minutes.
