a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,

Interpretation of that we see comes from us, so, therefore, is not objective. Seems, there is no objectivity here, none at all. But then why do we try again and again to learn, to understand, to feel?

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.

Cant you see how i feel
All i what from you is love
Thats what i want

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.
sweet playing,, i can see/feel it all as i listen,, nice light touch,, each note is crisp,,,,they stand out well,, musical splashes in beautiful pond,,well played r

I meditatively floated away with this expansive, gentle, gorgeous, peaceful piece.
Well it's sounding good so far ...cant wait to hear the whole thing....if this is you not knowing what your doing ...what the hell are you gonna come up with when you do .....from someone who really doesn't know what he's doing ......good to have you back Richard
Bullseye! This is fantastic. You have achieved some great guitar tones. The blend with piano really makes it shine.
Sounds great Richard, I look forward to hearing the album in entirety.
You are on a roll, so keep on rock'n.
I love your idea of trying things you have never used. It's inspiration to keep learning. This was really a beautiful and haunting track. I like it!!!
You are more than a simple piano player. You are a great musician.
