'Equinox' v2 update

Hey there. I'm about to upload this newer version of Equinox, for your perusal. I've settled on this length and structure, and from here I'll work... to make it work. I'm eager to get to the next level -version 3, which will include bass and drums. The last phase will involve refining the mix, cleaning up mistakes, possibly re-doing guitar solos, and hopefully the addition of saxophone tracks. I'll send this v2, to a drummer on Nantucket Island, for his collaboration.

A new composition- 'Equinox' version 1 sketch

As I get back into recording and composing, I thought I would post different versions of the same composition, as the composition/arrangement/recording evolves. Today I posted the first sketch version. Looking at the info page in Sonar, this version represents about 40 hours of work, and it's only about half finished. It might be interesting for some people to see how a composition changes with time, before completion.
