My tune "A Far Sky" which I recorded back in 2007.

Very nice. A moody, and reflective piece. As if you were peering into a far sky!
Nicely played and recorded, as usual. (Was that the Blanchard?)

Derek, another lovely piece.
It has a movie feel about it - Its almost like one of those Studio Ghilbli contemplative pieces or even Ennio Morricone
Beautiful

Thanks for the comments guys.

I will have to check those guys out Steve.

I do believe the guitar was my Blanchard in the recording.

I’ve come to expect certain things from your recordings, including first class playing, thoughtful compositions or covers, and crystal clear guitar(s).
Well done !

For me it is one of your most beautiful compositions, very poetic. We listen and we don't want it to end. Well done

Very beautiful Derek: the clarity on the playing (notes ringing, vibrato when needed, etc.) and the beauty of the note choices, with some interesting tension at times.

Well done!

Thanks guys and yes Rémy these type compositions (perhaps even more with my "Sustain Me" compositon) where there is the time and the space
for each note to have more of its own character and purpose is satisfying to work with while playing.
