Hi Everyone,
Today's Acoustic Snapshot is now live with Neil.
A few days ago I was bitten by the composing bug and dropped everything for a day and a half to write a new tune. I had a couple of images in mind but thought I would share this with the TG Community and ask for impressions as to what this piece makes you picture or think about. Part of this is also in the interest of finding the right title for the tune. Feedback on impressions and possible titles will be greatly appreciated and considered.
Enjoy!

Well, I had to watch it a couple of times just to get over the great guitar work. The last time I listened to it, with my eyes closed I liked the 'airy' feel to the song and the great 'motion' it conveys, that immediately brought to mind sailing. BRAVO, Neil.

I hear the dawning of Spring. It's sort of a mellow song. Don't know about a title yet.
Neil, I was instantly taken to a stand of Quaking Aspens, in the fall, in the mountains of Colorado. Yellow and Gold leaves, on a crystal clear day, twisting in the bright cool breeze.
Cool and Breezy is what it is for me.
Great Job Neil.

The spirit of the mountains is what I feel as well. For me this would be the perfect type of tune to listen to at sunrise heading up Hwy 395 (California, USA) just as you get in sight of the High Sierras. The sun lighting up the snow capped peaks with the open road in front of you and the smell of high desert sage and pine trees.......I see the golds and purples of the morning sky....
