Nice one. Me and the missus are watching Band Of Brothers again at the moment - for me, this has the same emotional kick to it that the B.O.B. theme has.

Richard I am Following this, Good results so far. I think the brass and strings might rub nicely with B3 organ. I dont know if thats possible , but it just pops in my mind.

Thank you so much, Richard for your kind words. Glad we got you up dancing on, "old". I had trouble standing still when I was recording the vocal. LOL!
I wish I could find the right words of what your music does for me. I'm always moved. It takes me somewhere. You are so very talented. XO

Hey Richard...thanks and yes I used to go to the Owl Bar.(my wife used to work across the street from the Belvedere a long time ago)..and it is still open, but I have not been there in years. lover this piece of music by the way...great mood music!!

Great title for this sombre piece. For some reason it brought a mental picture of Arlington Cemetry to mind so I hopefully got the feel that you intended. Fine work

Arranged: 2004
Arranger: Doug Sparling
I believe this is a traditional tune, but I'm not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O'Flynn (or both).
Midi demo written in vi on a Linux laptop.
Piano music created at the command…
very cool,, i like this a lot,,, and i do use a midi keyboard for much of my work,,, but i would always say that there's noting like a good acoustic piano in a large airy room with high ceilings and beautiful light,,, the way the notes dance about the room and tickle the ear is pure pure magic,, very nice Doug

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
this is very nice,, listening to you,, i am struck by the thought that id love to hear this live,, it's the sort of piece that no matter how good the recording is it must pale compared to a live hearing,,, who ever gets to hear you practice and such is very lucky

It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
very nice mr reef,,,,,,this has the magic of being....funny,,,,, real,,,,,something we all have been through,,,,, yove got a great sense of humor,,,,, you sound like someone id like to sit down and have a beer or two with well played/recorded R
Time to upload an oldie from February - see the video
Stratocastor copy from a kit with lace pickups x 5 through guitar rig 4 against Norm Harris' Illesa in the Pantry!
very nice,, i like the relaxed feeling of "just" playing,, i assume this was improv? it has that feeling of freshness of someone (with talent to be sure) just out having a good time.... again very nice R
Guitars/Mandolin: Doug Sparling
Composer: Traditional
Recorded: 2005
A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
Mr. Fox,,, your magic is powerful,, this piece captures/pulls me into a world of my own memories, feelings,, thoughts,,, hopes,,, dreams,,,,rememberences (think i just made this word up) this music is like a liquid impressionest painting,,, a place to get lost, and perhaps if lucky found again
thank you very much Richard

Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…

very wonderful,,, a teat for the ear,, heart,, and intellect( i enjoy visualizing the notes while they dance about on the different instruments, while complex it is also very distinct and clear to the ear as i follow along) what is the bouzouki?,, on my third listen.... very captivating,,,, please put up more,,,,and finally being a solo person,, i am amazed at how well you all work together,,, wow to you all,, well well played Richard

Nice one. Me and the missus are watching Band Of Brothers again at the moment - for me, this has the same emotional kick to it that the B.O.B. theme has.
Really nice baroque piece!
Richard I am Following this, Good results so far. I think the brass and strings might rub nicely with B3 organ. I dont know if thats possible , but it just pops in my mind.
Again Richard, this is absolutely beautiful! w;-)

Keep reading and keep experimenting and playing. I'm loving it.
Great title for this sombre piece. For some reason it brought a mental picture of Arlington Cemetry to mind so I hopefully got the feel that you intended. Fine work
Nice work, and realistic I'd say.
Lovely!
This is a very moving piece of music. Excellent.
A rich and full sound. Beautiful
These are both lovely! Looking forward to the rest!
Wow! First effort? Gorgeous!
Works for me.
