Many thanks for your review of my instrumental "Shiver" -- I'll work on that melody!

Larry,

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review of my song "The Starry Night". It means a lot coming from such a talented player. I have a question. Do you ever record keyboard tracks for other artist's songs? Being primarily a guitar player, I'm always looking for great instrumentalists to lay down backing tracks. Of course I realize compensation would be required. Anyway, thanks again for the kind review and let me know if you would ever consider the recording thing.

Best Regards,

Tony

P.S. I really enjoyed listening to your songs. Very beautiful.

Larry, thanks for the kind review of my composition, "Beijing Dawn". You are the first to review it. Glad you dig the Asian vibe with the urban accents. It was inspired by Beijing as it wakes up from a dead sleep to getting on their donkeys and getting busy. The song is included on my CD "Peak To Peak"..... stop by and listen to more if you like.

Best,

Chet Nichols

PS My song, "Waving Prairie", was just announced as the winner of the April 2012 Best Song Award.
