John, this is just excellent. Your piece took me to a very peaceful place - I had a smile on my face during the entire song. I really love this.
 
God Bless you brother.

This was nice, but could be better. You have some bad habits John, the little swell at :55 is an example? I know you think it adds, but it takes away. That effect should be used "VERY sparingly..." And you use it throughout your songs? You should use it to build from one segment to another, and not "as an effect" which is how it is used. It should be used more as a (I REFUSE TO BE EDITED BY THIS DUMBASS SW!, sow while I was going to use the word for an herb used to flavor food? That rhymes with mice? **The SW here will edit it out if you spell it, like the "rhymes w/mice girls?" They will **** that out. It's BS.
So my point is that is should be used more like a mice girl? But not the word mice, but rather something which flavors food?
 
where it's needed, to weld things together, as opposed to "a thing?" What I'm saying is it's something to get from here to there, it's neither here, nor there, and should be used "only sparingly" to get between two pieces.
 
But hey? I'm a Network Engineer, and I don't make money with music? But what I am giving you is my honest opinion, something very few people will do... It is in no way meant to be disrespectful, it is my honest critique. I could just start blowing smoke? Everybody loves smoke...
 
My point being if something goes bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRSSSSSSWOSH! 
 
It might not want to do that more that once or twice? For dramatic effect? But opinions are like arseholes... Everyone's got one? And mine smells.

Robbie, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are always... well... different, but much appreciated. By the way, those are cymbals with a very long reverb tail attached to the sound file, and then placed in the piece where I want to use them, they're lots of fun to create and I like them, as you may have noted, but in certain pieces only. But you could be right, less is good!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Robbie, Noted!! But remember, my pieces are many, many, many pieces in each piece and my connectors between pieces are many, as well, which rhymes with shhhhhwell, and spice is nice, when you eat it with mice, and I get you drift about this riff.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
