Hi, Mike.

Ambient music isn't a thing I usually listen to, but I enjoyed this.

So... Unqualified success! smile

Clint Eastwood in a very contemplative mood.

The band is excellent and it is very impressive how well you expressed the song with only one solo RT - the trumpet.
Those BG RT’s were well chosen and mixed.

Enjoyed it!

Cool. That rumbling opening rides up my spine to tell my brain pay atention, we're in for a treat. Heck, I might've gotten that seeing it's from CubanPete. Never disappointed listening toyour creativity, MIke. Interesting band, well-played. I saw the creidts and couldn't wait to hear how you fashioned the trumpet, whihc in print seemed like an odd choice. You made it work briliantly. I like how the baritone and bass work together. Outstanding thoughout.

Thanks JB and Babu, your comments as usual are important to me. Yes, I couldn't find the trumpet I had in mind, so I used this one that surprisingly enough worked pretty good.

Cheers

Spaghetti western, definitely.
Pretty cool choice of guitars, creates the right mood.
Sometimes the guitars come in a bit too late for my taste, but that's just a minor nit.
Cool song anyway...

Mike, very cool tune. The baritone guitar and steel really set the tone, and the soloist is perfect. Nicely done!

Nice!
Loved those spaghetti westerns back in the day, and this music would have fit right in.
Loved that tremolo baritone guitar, fiddle and trumpet sounded good too.
