Default ORIGINAL - "Carousel"

Here is a freshly revised and recorded version of an original fingerstyle song "Carousel"

As you listen, I hope you are able to visualize the 'carousel' I had in my head as that is what I was aiming for.

As always, any and all comments are welcome and appreciated.

"Carousel"

Steveee B.,

So I'm walkin around the Jacksonville Fair with my son and we are eatin' corndogs on a stick. Your wonderful tune brought me to these memories of not too long ago. Broham you play so lovely and your git sang with a clear crisp voice. This is one of your best Steve, and I love listening to you play.

Very nice Steve! I'm more of a singer songwriter guy so I'm always looking for a story. I like it when the writers of fingerstyle compositions describe their inspirations for songs so that I can connect with the song a little better. It's getting colder here in the northeast. So, it probably isn't how you imagined it, but in my head this tune was playing as a soundtrack to an old silent home movie, the kind where it is in color and the colors are vibrant, but almost too vibrant. The kids are on the carousel, but it is late fall. The kiddos are all bundled up in winter coats and their cheeks are red and they are having a grand time. The thing about kiddos and carousels is, neither of them care what season it is!! Really nice piece to inspire that vivid a picture! Well written, well played, well produced!
