Soft and gentle like a lovely woman A very amazing piece of music Mark, for what is I'm sure an amazing woman. I did a few songs for my wife before she passed away and she got to hear them all. I'm thankful I took the time to tell her how much I loved her before it was too late. And now I have the music to remember her with. I'm also glad that you did too. We never know how much time we have, so don't waste it. Enjoy the joy of a wonderful woman by your side. Beautiful piece of music Mark. Thank you Ed |

Carry on Man, I wish I were your wife! Uh... no, that didn't come out right... What I mean is, WHAT'S SHE GOT THAT I DON'T??? No, I just re-read that last sentence, and I'm pretty sure that didn't come out right either... Okay, last try: This is very beautiful, as I'm sure is your wife! There! I feel a lot better now. As you were. |

beautiful simply outstanding. A lovely tribute to your significant other. Mark, your recordings are always sooo clean and pure. Right up front and pro sounding. also, after I d/l'd I noticed you didn't 'tag' the mp3 file. You'll want to do that so when this gem pops up on someone's player they'll look and say "ah yes" Ibstrat! |

Dagnab it! I've got a 'Song For Karen' too! Now everyone's going to think I'm just jumping on the "Karen song" bandwagon, going with the latest trend... Talk about a "bell-like tone", Mark...this is sonorous and chiming and gorgeous. Its overtones have overtones! Great feeling to this... Ed |

Cadillac Mountain... ...is astounding at sunrise, driving down towards the clouds...we had a tiny car which we hid behind a boulder so we could camp on the top there one night...left at sunrise...I'll never forget that... ...another wonderful tune, Mark...gorgeous chord inversions and your touch/technique/expression is beyond words... Best to you, maestro... Bob |

Plucking Them Heartstrings Tunes from the heart are always the best. Case in point... this one. A loving touch comes through loud and clear. Lovely, dreamy stuff, Mark. ;) --- Joe |

Musical sincerity I'm all about writing songs for amazing wives! Guess I was foolish to think I was the only one who had one! Outstanding playing and an absolutely beautiful song. Question- Did you hike up Cadillac Mtn while you were there? |
 | Vic Holman said 252 days ago |

Mark! I am going to have to assume that you are a very patient man. Because it really comes through on this really nice piece. well, actually on most of your tunes. very sweet! |

Rightfully... ...there are an awful lot of wonderful comments here. Your playing is just so mellow and so beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed this gentle song and the fact that you kept it simple and uncluttered. It is one of the very best guitar solos I've ever heard! Peace. Paul |

Beautiful This song evokes peace, serenity, and order, which most of us lack. It gives me a hint of what life could be like someday. Expertly played and recorded. A treat. I like the part where you go to the second chord in the theme (a IV chord?) while the melody plays the fifth degree of the scale, creating a ninth -- genuius! |

Lovely.... lovely.... Impeccable playing as always, imaginative, lovely to behold, and it's even in waltz time. Just lovely. |

Blew me away Beautiful! Awesome playing! Last time I wrote a song for my wife she ran to the bathroom and cried....only because she felt the time I spent playing and recording the tripe I called a song could have been better served charging up billable hours at the firm and increasing our family`s personal wealth. But this is not the case with your song. Reminds me of Metheny`s work on ECM. Did I say great playing!!!! Hope you wife loved it I sure did! |

Amazing piece of music. Lovely melody, emotional and warm, and, of ourse, terrific playing. I love the resonant, rich sound you get, and the impeccable touch always floors me. Excellent track. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing it with us. Peace. |

Oh joy. I think this is just wonderful. You have a great sense of phrasing, and your tone is washed out with reverb. Instantly I'm calm. I almost want to hear this against a backdrop of dragonflies in a grassy field. It's very "nature-esque." |

beautiful Oh my, what beauty pours out of your guitar. You have such a warm and soulful way of moving your fingers across those frets. Your wife must adore this... you express your love for her so well in this piece. Absolute fan here! |

10 points for 7s and 9s from 12p! dood, WOW back at you. sorry i haven't checked this song out until now. very sweet, pretty chords. almost meloncholy, but hopeful. (yes, chords convey emotions... at least to me.) you write with a lot of nice, slightly dissonant 9ths and 7ths... right up my alley. nice tone, verb and delay too. very well done. ha, nice to the last chord. i might have even left out the root of the last chord and ended on the 9th-ish chord you had there. but then i like to torture people like that. ('no closure for you! haha!') |
This is another beautiful gem from you, but something very special comes across here. It speaks of a wonderful, warm relationship. Not only have I downloaded this, I will send a copy to my daughter, who loves peaceful, gorgeous music composed with obvious heart.
So very, very beautiful... Blessings to you and Karen.
