I have been playing instruments for over 25 years now and consider my self ..self taught
never had one lesson . and learned by watching listening , and a good ear..!  I am disabled
however . that only inspires me, that much more. to thank god for being alvie from the
car accident five year s ago. i have also many health issues. , but as we all know a lot
of people like Stevie Wonder , Ray Charles. etc. all succeeded in music in spite of
their handicapps. like mine.my main musical instrument is  A Korg Pro workstation synth
and also a lot of other software , utilites, and recording programs. like sony sound forge 10
i do a lot of covers also . and in an entirely new way . whic i will b uploading soong ..
I social network  and in five months have developed an audience of over 10.ooo followers
betwen the music sites. Facebook Twitter etc..If one is to make a goo at it . one must
do thier homework . and get public..hope all is enjoyed . have had many postive responses.
from other music sites on this original composition. .................................................

interesting sound you've created. This is a well constructed piece, and the production was solid. On this site, you don't get very many posts that's not basted in some form or other with guitar, and I'll be honest, I'm thinking I might have to see for myself what a guitar sounds like on this.

Oh, welcome to the forum, and congrats, you're up to 10,002 listeners. I've been a musician for 10 months, and Have 11.5 listeners (one has a really short attention span) woot!

Cool vibe Swan!

Makes me feel like I'm sitting in a cabana sipping a cocktail, looking out over the ocean.
(Instead I'm sitting in a chair, sipping a tea, looking at this damn computer screen)  ;D

Welcome, and nice work! Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff.

Great job here. Not my kind of music but this is very well put together and also well produced. It's got a very good feel to it and your playing is great. Could you tel us what you recorded it on and what gear you used?

Cheers,

Nigel

Great spirit., my friend.
There are 2 things that would send this song over the top, for me personally.
1st* I would love to hear a really intense  8 or 12 bar percussion breakdown , where the dancers/listeners just really go nuts.
2nd* Bring the Bass guitar up a little more, given it a more prominent roll in driving the already infectious groove of the song.
The song is already smoking and the quality of your production is outstanding. I close my eyes and I can see the band just taring it up.
Great job. keep up the good work.

Grooving Dance number!! Nice keyboard/percussion composition! -> I can see the palm trees a-swaying, the sea breeze a-blowing, the ice cold drink a-sippin - the dancers....

Nice melody, I enjoyed it very much. I also would have enjoyed more bass in this but very well done!
Rock on!
