Thanx Will.
Yes, I have shelved songs only to come back to them with a fresh idea.

Very much enjoyed this.
Yes, it's often best to keep something that didn't seem to work right, then come back to it later afresh.

The title transition is based on how this song originated to how it was finished. On 4/7 BobH and I were jamming to a low volume click track.  Consequently we varied the temp.  Also there were gaps in our playing and the tone of Bob's guitar was very trebly. No matter what I did I could not get the timing perfect, even with Melodyne, or vary the guitar tone to our satisfaction, thus we decide to junk it. A couple weeks later I had the idea to convert Bob's guitar audio track to MIDI as you all know I work better in MIDI than audio. In MIDI I corrected that tempo, eliminated the gaps, and either rewrote or copy and pasted Bob's guitar track to what you hear now, hence the title Transition.  Band-in-a-Box added the backing tracks and jammed along using my Squire P-Bass and my Xaviere 335 guitar.

Thanx so much Will!
I really appreciate that.

Without a shadow of doubt this is the best I've ever heard from you

When you really love someone and thought they reciprocated but they didn't it hurts.  When they break up with you you go into a depression. You cry and the more people try to help you the louder you cry.

Via my breath and wind controller I am playing the Swam Tenor sax. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

Thanks Mario (and apologies for being so slow to respond)

Nice work Will.
My thoughts as I listened was first the awakening of the grass followed by the rain, the heavier midsection of the song, followed by dancing daffodils and tulips as they go into a  full bloom.   

Thanx so much Will.
I do like those Swam VSTis.

The topic is 'springtime', so this is my entry.
