Story Behind The Song

A tune that's been in my head for several years but never found the right way to make it sound until now. Recorded at home but produced to have a live feel to it. One of my better tracks according to listeners.

I think this has a lot of potential for TV/film background. The feel was great and THANKFULLY it didn't go off the improvisation rails like so many instrumentals I hear. Just a solid groove with tasteful choices in playing and in the mix.

Nice guitar!

Cool song. Great mix of all instruments. Great guitars! Great instrumental. Mellow and relaxing. Enjoyed thanks!

Very well done. Great sounds all around. Nice performances. Everything meshes beautifully.

I really enjoyed this cut over all. It lingers around Santana at times, but not enough to be offensive. I listened to it a number of times. The recording sounds very good. I Like the songs main theme quite a bit. Im thinking about trying to purchase this!

Wow. Interesting track. The instrumentation is excellent. Love the guitar work. It just has a perfect groove to it. Great changes. Feels like it could be in a movie soundtrack. Reminded me of the Top Gun Anthem in a way.

I really appreciate the quality of guitar playing. There's a lot of heart in it. At 1:30, when the drums kick in and the songs builds to the new level - definitely a highlight. I always appreciate when I hear a player that doesn't try to do too much - aka - how many notes can I play to fill up a space. The song grooves very well and the recording itself is highly professional to me.

clean and professional. Slow dancing back in eighth grade.

It's an interesting instrumental. I noticed everything from Pink Floyd to Chuck Mangione to Eric Clapton to the Allman Brothers. Looks like you've got a wide variety of influences.

very good instrumental mellow rock track which hat has a slight spanish flavour or something to me. enjoyable from the start. nicely played guitars and suttle backing. with some cool sax in between. i enjoyed it

very nice smooth guitar work.... good sx, instrumentation...fitting for some Film/TV backing tracks?
