I had posted this one before..long ago,but I decided to re-work it & clean it up a bit.
This is one of my all time favorites from Jan Hammer.

And oldie but goodie 
I used to play this live on a Casio keyboard, hmm.. what was 20 agoo 

Your version certainly sound better now 
Excelent bending on that melody, not easy to get those right, well done !

I agree with you, it's one of the better songs of Hammer.

Nice! I really like the melody instrument.

If you were looking to tweak, I'd think about dropping the percussion levels a bit. They sound good, but tend to step on the quieter components.

Good choice of material.

Super work Thom.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Kara,

I think that it's ultra-cool that you know this song...very few know this song,because it was only on the show,as it never made it on Jan Hammer's album!

Thanks for the nice review!

Oren,

It's interesting that you find the percussion to be a bit too loud,as I found the percussion to be a bit too low on my previous rendition.
To my ears,it sounds perfectly balanced-especially so,since percussion is a very defining element in Jan Hammer's music.
I actually did not raise the volume of the track per say,but rather,I made some EQ adjustments to bring out the percussion track to where I think it needed to be.
Your input is appreciated as always & thanks for the comments!

Not so surprising Thom
I have a song book of him, you know those things we bought before there was internet

I remember you did a serie of Jan Hammer tracks in the past.
It's a simple song but sounds great, nice touch

Cheers
