I'll be posting a few instrumentals from time to time - until I can get all our vocal recording equipment set up in the assisted living facility. Hope you don't mind.

I wrote this a few weeks ago for my beautiful wife, Di, who is struggling so much with her health. Every day is a new challenge for her but so far, she's hanging on and trying to get better. The song graphic on this page is Di - a picture taken of her about 10 years ago when she was 60 years old. And that's the natural color of her hair - no dyes or coloring. She still has but a few gray hairs.

Hope you enjoy the song. Thanks for the listens. Will listen in return as time permits - thanks for understanding.

I misspelled "You're" on the title header. I entered "Your". DUH! Alan slaps forehead with palm of hand!

This lovely, you guys smile I love how smooth it sounds, and the stripped down nature of the tune. It isn't overcomplicated. It is sweet sounding, and right to the point. The guitar throughout this is stunning. The kind of tune I can close my eyes and sway to.

You did a great job here - thanks for sharing!

Lovely tune for a lovely lady smile Beautiful chords and nice melody played by the nylon guitar. Relaxing, has some south-European feeling.

Best wishes to you and Di.

Hi Scoot.

First - I wish that were me playing - but it' one of new RTs. I used to play a lot of this type of music - it's one of my stronger genres. never owned a nylon string guitar but have had several steel string acoustics I used for this genre.

Thank you so much. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Wishing you the very best.

Hi Deryk,

Thank you very much. You folks at PG Music are great - always offering technical and vocal support for the Forum members. We appreciate it so much.

I'm glad you liked it. I kept it simple by design. I didn't want anything competing with the melody. And I wanted a soft "touch". Again, many thanks. Best to you.

Alan

Hi Robert.

Thank you for dropping in for a listen and the very nice comments. Chord arrangements come to me pretty easily most of the times. The hard part is getting the right combination of instruments to interpret the chords as I envisioned the sound. The nylon guitar RTs are great and I think they worked pretty good for this one.

Again, thank you very much! Wishing you all the best.

Alan
