Wow Marty! Talk about making a joyful noise! Man the Stick is an amazing instrument. Imagine trying to play this "simple" piece on a guitar...

Thanks for posting. Mike

Great comments here, I especially liked what Tatsu said, it sounds like this will be the first of many in this format - bravo Marty!

That was super nice, Marty! Your tempo treat is flawless here. I guess that when you say it is "fairly atemporal" you mean that it doesn't follow a fixed tempo. But this song's kind of tempo curve is more about the emotional content of the music than about beats-per-minute; inspired flowing tempo... (do they really say "tempi" in Italy, as the music speeds up and slows down? Just wondering...)

Thanks Marty

Nice one, Marty. I agree that it's the spaces that really let the piece 'breathe' - superb tone too

Love it!! Very Frisell like, wonderful amount of space.

any of you who are interested int this kind of "spacial" and simple Stick music, check out Jeff Pearce's Lingering Light

Marty, I don't know if you've listeed to him, but I think you'd enjoy it.

Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging remarks.

As you said, Greg, these type of tunes are never really finished -- this one sounds different today than it did just a week ago.

Although I've posted some pretty slow/meditative stuff lately, I actually prefer music with some rhythm, but any of the pieces I like that have real movement are, so far, too hard for me to pull off -- at least too hard to pull off and still be something I'd like to listen to. More practice...

Beautiful!
Love it!!
