Nice song, sounds good. Mouse should not bother you if you do not play computer games. Probably just a bug going around, but always can go see a chiropractor, might be something just a little off and it will make a difference. Did I say it was a nice song, and sounded good. Yes it did.

Really nice Janet.  I love it when a song makes a bend in the road.  Just curious... is your piano a mic'd up real piano or a keyboard piano?

Hate to hear about your pain... but maybe it shows up in your music and adds a touch of magic....   ;-)

Thank you, Eric!  Very kind of you!

Thank you, Guitarpima!

Thank you, John.  You used it as a brake?  I bet that's an interesting story! 

Thanks, Herb.  That chord progression thread in the other forum made me think about other ways to change things up.  You liked the key change at the end?  Jimmy used to say those weren't in style any more, so I've avoided it....but this one called for it.  Glad it worked! 

Thank you, Lynn.  I appreciate that.  Actually, it's probably not a good idea to keep playing right now...which is why this took a couple weeks...and I've had to give up on the cello for awhile.  Maybe some day...

Thank you Shawn!

Thanks so much Marcus!  There are a few pianists around here that are sheer acrobats with their fingers and compositions.  That's not me, but I was hoping this would resonate with a few.  I've got about 100 up on my SC page if you want to hear more.  ;)  

Thank you Jason.  I was going for some dynamic change-ups.  Glad they came across. 

Thank you Bub.  I really like the opening riff...getting the rest of it to work was a struggle, as usual.  :)  And I wish I could do a lot of other things, so I hear ya!  

Wow, Reece. Thank you!  

Thanks, Rik.  I'll work on that. :) 

Thank you, Space.  I never play computer games.  Working on computers makes me feel terrible, so I only do what I have to.  Unfortunately, that's a lot of hours a day anyway.  

Thank you, Tony.  It's a keyboard, using Ivory.  Right now I couldn't play this straight thru with no mistakes, and I don't know how to mic a piano anyway.  :)  Glad you liked it and the bends in the road too.  ;) 

Hi Janet!

Good to see you still on the forums. Loved this very much. Sorry to hear about your injuries. Chiro and massage!!

All the best,
Dan

Very lovely piece! It has a beautiful melody line which you added nice variations. It is also nicely performed. Hope your shoulder feels better soon.

Janet,
 
Beautiful piece.   I am on the 2nd listen now.   Really fine playing.
 
Regards

 Hope the shoulder gets better soon. Very nicely done. You have a great talent for composition/playing.The piano sound is really nice and fits this material well. Hope you can continue to do this.

Janet,

This is exquisite. I love the sound you have on this piano (although I think Rik is right, a bit more reverb would work wonders).

The 'rising' part about 2:10 had me smiling - it's a great bridge.

I sincerely hope your shoulder problems resolve themselves, it must be horrible to have to limit doing something you so obviously love (and are so talented at).

Cheers,
Terry.

Songs are better when you put your pain and feelings into them... as this proves.  Very nice.  You know musicians have to suffer, it's our curse.     Very pretty.

Daryl

Dan, thank you very much!  :)  Massage...ah, that sounds nice!  :) 

Thanks so much, Vicente.  :)

Mark, 2nd listen?  Thank you! :)

You're very kind, Lynn.  Thanks so much.  :)

Good to see you again, Terry!  How's your son doing?  Thanks for the kudos and I'm glad it made you smile.  I wasn't sure if that part worked or not.  And the sound...that's thanks to Ivory and lots of help here tweaking it.  The first time I heard it, it felt I imagine swimming in chocolate would be. :)  I'll try more reverb.  Thanks again! 

Thank you, Daryl.  :)  Yeah, pain and feelings....that has come out in a lot of my songs I suppose.  And yeah, there's suffering involved, for sure.  At least nice music comes out of it now and then. :) 

You all here make it way more enjoyable. Thanks so much for your help and encouragement and friendship.  You all are the best!
