very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.

What a gorgeous piece! I actually prefer this one with the longer reverb as it gives the impression of not intruding on the conversation, but listening to it from a distance. Just beautiful Richard!
well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…

High quality wav samples over 320 bps will work for you , they are live people playing with the ear and skill to do it well enough to sell.But there are free samples out there for most systems. I will take a look see and drop ya a link , if i find a good one.

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

Bravo Friend! a beautiful story, a wonderful song... i still remember the day 24 years ago, when i brought my wife and son, home from the hospital,(i had been there of course) but as much as i didn't expect it,, i remember crying in happiness,,,as we stopped in the driveway and i held him, it can be a bit overwhelming,, good luck on sleep,,, nice work here richard
LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard
Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never looking closely at the…
oh ya,,,,,about 3 seconds into this your playing alone, had won my heart, this is,,, something i must listen to... right away again,(and i don't usually do this), the music/play/arrangement is brilliant.. and the lyrics are poetry that goes right to heart,, (on the level of a P Simon or J Mitchell, in my view),, most wonderful! congrats two both r

Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
i agree with williew,, the less you use,,(man and guitar) the harder it is to pull off,,, and indeed you do it here! i love the quiet understated , personal, right with you feel of this... and that's not even speaking of the lyrics,,, simply put "to die for",, beautiful, you have made my sunday eve,, quite magical,,, r
A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

<3 those string are beautiful ;3;
I'm a sucker for orchestras and strings. <3 absolutely love the feel of the song
Love the moviescape vibe this gives of.....truly Magical.Soundscape ....love it ...
very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.
This is just about perfect for me and I can't help thinking that your description would make a perfect short animation. If only I had the skill.
Absolutely gorgeous piece, Richard. w;-)
What a gorgeous piece! I actually prefer this one with the longer reverb as it gives the impression of not intruding on the conversation, but listening to it from a distance. Just beautiful Richard!

Excellent!
Cello is a cool tool.
Solo pieces are a lot harder than full orchestra, in many ways indeed. But this sounds very nice.
Really beautiful music.
Deep tones.
Carried away by this one Richard. Good luck on the RPM, might have to wait and hear the album as a finished piece. :) No spoliers!
Wonderful composition Richard!
These midi tracks are excellent.
Another great track mate.
Excellent track.
Beautiful Richard.

very lovely, the words/story suggests a bit unease,, but very lovely in a different sort of way (not exactly sure how to say what i mean)
most playful play, i enjoy hearing/feeling the finger dancing on the keyboard
and what a wonderful urge it was,,, this is really great
you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard
