"Dane,
Thanks. The thing you call a bass flute is my go-to melody instrument the FM8 "classical flute" patch.
I can't seem to stop using it for melodies.
I just listened to some of my stuff, including this piece, with my cheap Bluetooth headphones…"

" Yes, it does have a Bacherach sound to it. Nice one, with the same accomplished harmony. If there'd been lyrics it's too easy to imagine Dionne Warwick on this song.
My only crit is that the main melody instrument (sounds like a bass flute) came…"

"Hi Rick.  Im sure it was a lucky guess, (but if you hadn't heard of TJB, I thought you should be aware).
The effect of TJB is very infectious. In today's world, this approach to music is a most welcome delight, and your music certainly reflects this…"

"gregorio X,
You asked: "Have you heard of that band?"
Answer: Are you kidding?! I LUUUUV HERB ALPERT AND THE TIJUANA BRASS!!!!!
It's so awesome to meet a fellow TJB fan.
And even more awesome that you can hear a TJB influence in some of my stuff.…"

"Very catchy, Rick. Charming. Just enough harmionic twists without feeling forced. 
It has an undeniable freshness to it (despite being a bit retro). 
In a slightly different vein, the lightness, and fun of this piece (and some others you've posted)…"

"Dane,
Thanks. Simple in the sense that it uses just a few virtual instruments.
I should probably re-do it from scratch because I can't find the Sonar project I created. All I have is the mixed down wav file.
The second steel guitar solo bugs the…"

"Yes, it's me back again, Rick.
You say it's a simple song yet the harmonisation (as usual) is clever and interesting. I should probably ask you for lessons in diatonic harmony. It's ok saying to get to an unexpected key or cadence use chord V of the…"

Dane Aubrun replied to Rick's discussion Bubble Island
"Another one, a bit passé now but still, is 'Blimey!" (which is actually a blasphemy!) or if you're taken by surprise, "You could have knocked me down with a feather!" pronounced 'you could'a knocked me dahn wiv a fevver." True cockney stuff!

"Dane,
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vibe.
I had to let my uke give me an upbeat happy song because I think I was depressing the poor thing with stuff like "One by One".
It's such a happy little instrument by nature.
:)
I love that word "crikey". We…"
