Mike--I haven't seen you around for quite awhile. Nice to find you here. This is a great song--so well played and a great tune!

RICK AT THE BEST!

SORRY, RICHARD! ;)

I love Valkir music at the old mix, your music gave me the same quality with RWK collaboration. Sweet melody line with the overdriven guitar, fabulous twisting and pulling. The skills here is neat and professional, without doubt this collaboration is a fine wine indeed. A great track to chill on, sensational till the last note.

With million of love from Singapore.

Very, very nice! Excellent performance and mix. Love the bass line, runs in just the right places. Great!

This has a nice fusion to me...lovely guitar melodic, soaring around my head so nicely...good work on them keys, solid percussion and bass, all in all a very well orchestrated piece. Lovely and relaxing. Top notch production.
Excellent. Never too late. Great chemistry.

Sweet guitar, Santanaesque. Good melodies and feel (that`s for me the main thing). Great production. The song brings me into a good mood.

You are a masterful musician Love it

Thanks so much, everyone. I tried to thank everyone in PM's, but times are a bit hectic as of late.

I am sure that Rick and I will do more work together. I am looking forward to it! :)

Cheers,
Mike

ahhh yes Mike...this is the reason i play music...Ric is great to work with and the feeling of this one ooozes springtime brilliance. Loving that acoustic (12string?) and the backing track as a whole is such a nice bed for ric's leads extravaganza....you are the first song and artist i have listened to online for quite some time and i am inspired again.
Cheers
Pete

oh yeah....well we could talk about introspective chordal progressions, about an emotive lead winding through with perfect tone, and a truly expressive bass played so velvety. And we could say that Mike and Rick did it....and it would all make so much sense. Wow....SO nice!! ~Blake

I heard this the other night, on the Friday Night Test show.....and I was quite blown away by both of you guys. The guitar is RwK at his finest, Mike your bass is so smooth......the orchestration and piano VERY pleasant and very nice listening. I love the theme and chord progression......this song is Beautiful Listening, Guys!!!
Rob

Ahh...*such* a beautiful piece!

Production is superb. Yes: Rick did an excellent job on this incredible composition.

This piece is just dripping with melody. The mix is perfect: everything blended perfectly.

Bliss: yes Larry, that's the word I would use as well.

BEAUTIFUL track Mike - excellent work Rick!

This is a very nice piece, especially like the lead melody, quite hypnotic, works well with the bold-ish bass, and quite subtle percussion line, Nice one......

Mikie, I can't believe I didn't review this song! I know I listened many times. Hmmmm... well never mind.

This is a beautiful song, with a lovely arrangement. I must say that Rick was really excited when he heard the music from you-- couldn't wait to get his chops on it . I can see why. What are you playing the rythmn with? It's so full and gorgeous-- and Reap's guitar in there is such a compliment-- a yin to your yang, ermmm... or is it the other way around? I can't say anything here except to tell you how very much I like this lovely tune, and the mixing also sounds superb.

Ah, a "Springtime Serenade" from two "well-seasoned" veterans! Refreshing it is, and soothing, and smooth-textured, and gently flowing. An exquisite composition, gentlemen!

Thank you so very much for the very nice comments, everyone! Rick and I appreciate this a LOT!!! It's nice to just "hit it right" every now and then... we all know the feeling, don't we??? :)

Thanks again,
Mike

Very impressive track, well recorded and produced. Gotta love that laid back feel and emotion in the entire composition. Well done my friend!

Hello Mike,

Your "Springtime Serenade with RwK " is wonderful. It demonstrates your superb musicianship, playing and production skills!

best,
michael palmieri

Wonderful track - the guitar is excellent. It does have a Santana feel to it as others have mentioned. I think the production mix/mastering is excellent as well, the lead guitar is not overpowering the rest.

Hi Mike


This was a very kewl track. You and Rick both play great on this. Clear mix....and no rough edges. Very nice melodic chord pattern and flow to this one. Rick reminds me of an understated Carlos Santana on this one. Your new music continues to reach new ground...which is great to hear. Super job!

Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Very strong, soaring melody. The lead carries the tune wonderfully without being self indulgent. Great guitar tone and lovely arrangement.
Cheers
Richard

Mike thank you so much for sharing this track with me.
I really love that chord progression and it just pulled me right in.

I'm in musical bliss with this amazing song.Mike your song alone was beautiful composed,arranged,produced and performed !! Lovely chord progression....outstanding musicianship....yea,bro !/// I think everyone knows how much I appreciate and enjoy Rick's splendid guitar work and this one's up there with some of his BEST.....OUTSTANDING guys *****

Thanks for the nice comments. Love what Rick did with this. And yes, I wrote this and did the entire track, except for Ricks wonderful part, of course! :) Thanks again!

great job guys. what a great tune. Rick your solos are always in the groove of the melody. You do not overpower the track but ride along with it.

Mike I am not sure if you wrote this but I am guessing you did. Love the melody on here. Exceptional! Keys sound great and I agree the drums and bass are perfect.

very nice intro with great guitar solo opening...wonderful track...very well drum and bass line...well performed and arranged..top pro..five stars *****
