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.

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

Dedicated to my sweet wife's loving mother, Millie, who is moving into hospice.
She is a very thoughtful person, centered on peace and justice.
The song has a guitar part that symbolizes her. The quieter echo part is Wally, who passed years ago.
Doug,, very beautiful,,, i just had experience with the hopsice network myself with my mother... Our experience was that they did a wonderful job -- with what is in fact one of the hardest of times -- for patient and family... my mother (for whom the song Geneieve is dedicated on this years RPM) anyway my mother once made the comment to me as we were sitting outside the home where she passed away,, she made a comment about how despite what was happening, she was glad and felt blessed to be meeting so many fine and loving people,,in fact she said she would not have wanted to miss out on making those final friendships.... anyway we found our hospice people to be very very special,, it takes a one in a million kind of person to do that kind of work...
sorry the hear of your situation,, my prayers go with you and you family
beautiful music Richard
the sun has set here on the west california coast,,, after a beautiful day,,, it's a great time to either make music or listen to it,, the glow on the mountains is a soft blue/white/green,,, a perfect time to think about and listen to this snack

Many years ago a brave soul uploaded several recordings of his sister's recital to a newsgroup I created for amateur musicians. I asked for, and he gave, permission to use the recordings. Well…
Thinking of Bill Williams - the original singer for Harlequin until his dad, an extremely strict police officer, pushed him too far...
Harlequin was the main name for the band we had in high school.

hi there back again,, at about 6:30ish,, when the vocals begin,,, they are very light i have a difficult time hearing them,,can't really hear the words,,, and i would like to,, this is a great mood piece
Peter,,your music is soooooo rich,, the sound is full,, your lyrical writing is so far beyond my simple understanding,, i am always in awwwwwwwww.... i always look forward to hearing from you both in your music and your words Richard
very nice Tim,,, sometimes i feel that life is a series of "day to days" .. a very poetic piece,,, you express something that i definitely, and i think we all feel at times ,, well done,,, i really like this,, Richard
wow,, just saw this on a comment,, ive never heard this,, where has acl been hiding this cool stuff? guess ill have to go looking through the back repertory,,i like the way this builds various instrumental leads over what is basically a simple pattern (that's ment as a complement,, that's what most of my stuff is about, or tries to be,,yours is really great)... very nice warm sounding clarinet? im not sure..... very well done,, ill have to go spend some time in your library
Last Christmas my collaborator and fuzzy inspiration Charlie passed over the rainbow bridge - he was very old for a ferret 9 or 10 years old. He was adopted from a shelter and remained a touch-me-not independent ferret all his life with us…
very interesting,,, thanks for the link,, i see that the musette is an instrument similar to hurdy gurdy or bagpipe,, what i read is quite interesting i assume this is synth? if so which are you using?? im on my 4th listen,, it's a fun piece.. well done Richard
very cool,,,,, actually only a few K yes? been a few years since i was in astrophysics,,, actually i am a physicist by trade geo rather than astro,,, but hey,, this is a fun piece
A+,, an interesting visit to the keyboard of imagination,,, i think this is my favorite of your sonatas that i have listened to,,, On a personal note,, since i have been listening to your music, and some of the other piano work on AT,, i have decided to try my first sonata,,, we will see that that turns out,, anyway well written/done R

Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Verrrrry nice, Richard... Captured the mood perfectly.
It's a cool tool.
Richard, I love where you're going. Beautiful! w;-)
Lovely! Shaping up to be a hell of a RPM for you
Tasty
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.
