I wrote this the other day in mind of a TV lifestyle series about holidaying or more specifically about getting away for the weekend.

Beautiful guitar figure Ray, the jazzy piano also accompanies it very nicely. Great soloing in the middle section as well.

The perfect holiday programme theme. Starts off pottering around in a 2CV in the south of France, then gets all exciting with shots of jet-skis and windsurfers taking off with the guitars. Judith Chalmers would have loved this. Excellent work!

Exellent!

I'm glad we have moved from the awful afternoon soaps and onto travel shows.

I like this - it moves very nicely, you ought to pitch it to your local TV station.

Hi Ray,
I can actually hear this tune as a commercial for something.
Very nice guitar work as always, love this.

Sounds like a very exotic adventure is about to happen.  Very well arranged and played.  You're a man of many talents, Ray!

First of what a great recording and excellent arrangement and playing.
Definitely could be a theme tune to a travel show, great stuff.

Besides the great vibe, felt like I was looking down at the tropical isle as the plane came in for a landing with that middle lead section of excitement. Wow, what a contrast that works perfectly! Great song - A keeper for sure! 8)

Totally  took me away...twice. I thought it was Steve Howe at 1st , I wasn't looking at the player, then I thought..."must be Ray". Amazing!
Fest on!

Great travel show music when the lead kicked in you see people running into the surf to play in the water

Wow! This is ear candy! Excellent playing with good tones. This has at least jazzy and proggy vibes to my ear...

Nice twists and turns in less then 2 minutes...

Are you sure this isn't from a " real" travel show ray? Lol. This is brilliant mate. You can do anything. It's very relaxing and beautifully played and produced.

This starts off with some lovely acoustic guitar playing Ray, I like those tunings! The entrance of the drums, bass, electric guitar and piano gives it a cool crescendo of an ending. Yes, it sounds like the theme song to a vacation show. Nicely done!
