I wasn't planning on uploading something today, but I got lucky on my recording levels, and I played the song half decently; so I've uploaded a tune to Soundcloud. The is the closest I've yet come to having something worth putting on a CD. It's still rough in spots, and I was a little too light on the open A string, and one fill was completely improvised when I forget the line as it was supposed to be played. But I made it all the way through (short song), and the quality of the tone isn't bad. Anyway, I thought it worth sharing with you guys.

It sounds hopeful, like every thing is gonna be alright.

Sweet, Dave! Cool tone - I would have guessed this was a guitar or maybe a baritone guitar, not a bass!

Bill, tgo

Thanks Bill! It's amazing what an Alembic bass can do.

I recorded another one; I seem to have hit upon a good combination of recording level and tone.

Dave, that was a beautiful Message.

It also did not go unnoticed that that song is 4:20 . . . :-D

I can't figure out how to rave enough about Message To The Heart without sounding as if I didn't like A Spring Day - which I did. A lot. But Message; man, that's gorgeous!

A Spring Day has got the grass hoppers and birds in action and the sweet fresh spring air filling my lungs and beautiful tress rustling in the breeze. Lots of visuals !

Message to the Heart

An introspective manifesto from the heart to ones sole in mindful cognition that the ship is on the correct course __________
