Description The joy of kissing a redwood tree as my wife and I walk around Laganitas Lake. A few weeks prior, we were ready to take the trip back to the San Francisco area.

Here it is in AAC - .mp4 version.

I don't think MJ allows AAC .mp4, if they did, I would make the link to MJs site.

This is gorgeous, you let the listener join you in the ride home, as you enter the town of your heart's home...Joyful notes

thetiler said 305 days ago
Thanks
Tom for posting that comment, I really enjoyed reading that.




Roxylee said 304 days ago
So happy, Bill
I really like how you've been trying new stuff, adding instruments. You incorporate them very well. Everything about this is great, including the artwork. :-)

thetiler said 304 days ago
Thanks Roxy
I really appreciate you stopping by!

Moviz said 304 days ago
Thanks for
that lovely trip Bill. I love the lovely rich tone you got on the guitar and the well balanced mix of other instrumentation. So nice to listen to your music.... feels like I'm riding through the great scenery, cheers M

davisamerica said 304 days ago
right then bill
just the type happy groove needed today ... wonderful work sir! 2 hats off!

jiguma said 304 days ago
Beautiful Bill!
Amazingly clean recording - the other instruments seem to be better incorporated in this than in previous hybrid tunes you've posted Bill. I'd love to hear you with a regular drummer rather then the loops (no, maybe it's midi) that you're using here - something about the accents on the ride cymbal doesn't quite click at times. However, that's because I'm becoming more and more obsessed with drums I guess.
The sound of your recording of Betsy and the confidence with which you play shines through!
Lovely post.

Howdy Thetiler,
Great pickin' of a superbly enjoyable melody... just like breezin' by all the scenery and not missing anything, taking it all in a peaceful mood!!!!!! I really enjoyed listening to this tune...thanks!!!!!!

Respectfully,
Wade

Nice Guitar Work
You have a very smooth and seamless sound to your playing. Very enjoyable. Not sure about the synth decorations in the BG. Maybe I just don't like the synth sound. Regardless, very beautiful.

drakonis said 304 days ago
Welcome back home
I can feel the joy of you returning to the familiar place you love. Nice melting of the Bridge into the redwoods there too. As always, your gorgeous playing really stands out here as smooth effortless music flows from your fingertips. The accompaniment of the flute was great (though it could be a teeny bit softer), and I thought the drum track was distracting, and could have been left off completely. The rhythm is carried just fine in your playing. I'm assuming you didn't get your old house back, right? So you have to start tiling all over again? :-)

ttfn,
Drakonis

thetiler said 304 days ago
Thanks for postiing
Ya, we are in the process of deciding to do with the house we have there. We want to wait for interests rate to go down further before we buy again here. Luckily they seem to be going down in a consistent fashion:)

Yes, I am still doing tile contracting-installing.

Thanks for the input drak




Mcboy said 304 days ago

Always good
Every time I've heard you it's really good. And that goes here as well.

Leon said 303 days ago
lovely
Always a pleasure to hear your fingers play a lovely song, Bill. You never cease to please and amaze my ears

paul f. page said 303 days ago
Such beautifuly...
...playing, Bill. Your guitar is so precise in every measure and your rhythms so pleasant and varied. I love the chromatic business about :40 and following and then the seamless transition back to your original theme. This is just so pleasant in every way. So, S.F. area compadre, you capture Laganitas just fine. I'm already longing to return in the Spring and I will certainly bring your lovely tune with me!
Peace.
Paul

thetiler said 303 days ago
Thanks
Paul, I really appreciate the comment, especially coming from such a master musician-composer as yourself.

Thanks again!

bud said 303 days ago
I'm a complete sucker for Muir Woods -
was there a few months back. Never miss a visit if I'm in the area. Great fun tune - with lots of energy and inventive playing. Thanks for sharing.

thetiler said 301 days ago
I didn't
know how precious the redwood trees were to me until I didn't have then around when i lived in Tennessee.

Thanks for the post.

rocky55 said 302 days ago
Great guitar!
Really a great guitar!! :))

tooshu said 302 days ago
musician
I very much enjoy that guitar. I am waiting to get some real musicians recorded into my GB.

UncleTupeloFan said 301 days ago
great feel
very breezy tune, full of wonder, really paints a picture. I had a chance to go John Muir Forest (I think that's what it was called, about 45 minutes north of the Golden Gate) a few years ago, and that whole area seems to transport you to another time and place, almost a spiritual experience. This song fits the bill.

Peace,
Paul

I really love this song... It makes me calm and give me a smile.

Take care of you and your wife

a lovely song, really great tone on your guitar and a wonderful sound, enjoyed this very much! Thanks!!

Great "woody" hugging guitar sound!
Hi there. I really am interested to know how you recorded the guitar so well....? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

thetiler said 299 days ago
Hi eric
I record with very good mics I think. They are c451b's, they are stereo. I am trying to record as close to the guitar body as I can. Lately, I have been trying not to get too close to the fret board because I just don't like the sound of slipping up and down the fretboard. So I have been trying to overcome that the best way I can.

But those mics are a little more expensive than regular priced mics, but anything that can get a good sound and I can afford I am all for.

I also think the plug ins like "Fat EQ" in Logic 8 and a tad of Space Designer are helpful.

I have
to envy anyone that lives in San Francisco.I spent a week there years ago and never wanted to leave.Great happy song with a great feel and wonderful guitar!

Bob Rodgers said 298 days ago
A
Beautiful song and your guitar pickin is superb, I love this, it sounds so good!!

stratcat said 298 days ago
Mellow
and relaxing. Love the flute. Great picking. Good song for just daydreaming. Really nice feel to it.

VicDiesel said 298 days ago
No longer solo?
I guess I haven't kept up with your tunes. Last time I looked you were playing strictly solo. This getting more into smooth jazz territory, with those side-sticking drums.

Very enjoyable.

said 296 days ago
Good....
.... Song intro.... It has a great melody... I like hearing it.... And the flute is good to listen... I can hear that you're very good at guitar.... Great...

thetiler said 296 days ago
