And many thanks for all your great comments. Coming from artists such as yourself, it means a lot.

Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple
(lots of rough sound on this,, not sure…
The music is old but the video i just made,,, on a dive trip to Beqa Island Fiji,, music is a previous version of piano moment #5, of late i have been working on diving and putting existing music to the videos,, hope you like r

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

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…

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…

Beautiful work Richard. A perfect way to close my evening.
It must be lovely to have someone playing the piano so effortlessly around the house. Bee
