A guitar based instrumental for the festival........close your eyes and come with me on a wee musical journey.....

[StephenM]

wow... this sounds so fine!  IT's way up there.  There is so much wonderful sounds in this... it takes me to alot of places but mostly toward the skies of the upper heavens... there are so many things about this (namely how different parts remind me of some various great bands) that I love... so you have all this groovy and lovely and kick ass music in you that just comes through the strings... including the very Neil Young electric lead.. smokin man... smokin... the bass is perfect. 

[Ron D Bowes]

Tasty!! Nice guitar playing! Cool atmospheric background buliding up in presence. Laced with the sweet axe-work

[Ray Brookes]

Cool instrumental, Dave. Great musicianship and excellent composing skills, all mixed and produced very professionally.

[Farrell Jackson]

Dave, this is some excellent acoustic and electric guitar playing...the varied picking styles shows your versatility, nicely done there! Kudos to Keith on the bass playing. In sections, the electric tone and phrasing is reminiscent of Neil Young's style of playing and that's a big compliment. A fantastic instrumental!

[Zoltan]

Man... This made my tube socks vibrate!

The whole vibe of this track is such that i'm not sure if i'll ever want to come back from the high heavens it took me. That lead playing is so tasty and it walks between that fine line of being both refined and gritty.

You're not holding back anything and it's a real adventure hearing those lead lines. And the weirdest darn thing is that the whole track just oozes that BluesBerry sound. And now you're doing it just with your fingers.

What made you play such a beautiful thing? Was it the grandpa's pipe tobacco that you found under the cupboard? Sorry to break it to you man... That wasn't tobacco! It was mongoose dung!

[Blooby]

I was right along with you on that journey.

Very cool listen.

Wow, dig the progressions, vibe and tone variations throughout. Outstanding leads of course. Overall an epic instrumental!

[maxit]

Epic, that's right, like the once upon a time rock music dared to go! Plus that's that classic guitar intro that really leaves me speechless! bravi, super-bravi! what a listen!

[Johnbee]

Nice arrangement and production.  The combination of the many sounds create a strangely soothing atmosphere.
