We recently got word our 20 year-old granddaughter has cancer and the out look isn't good. We're pretty shaken up right now and Di needed something comforting ... this is the best I can do with little to no time. Wrote it and recorded it all within 2 hours. The vocals are all one and done ... no time for redos. Will take a listen to you folks as we can ... will probably be kind of spotty with our appearances here for a while .... thanks for understanding. Anyway, this is what I gave her for comfort. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12809179 File:Al - Come To Me Softly Tonight.SGU Key=D , Tempo 72, Length (m:s)=3:09 4 bar intro, 49 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 53.

OP Al-David Veteran Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 8,026 Originally Missouri ... Now Al...	Hi Again, Greg! I tried to keep it relatively simple for two reasons. First, I didn't want to steal away from the lyric with a bunch of fancy music. Second, my time is very limited right now. It took me about 45 minutes to write the lyric and the other approximate two hours was composing the music and recording everything. So glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know!
