    • Hi Danny,
      I hope everything is allright with you, the kids and the dogs.
      I hope too the dogs will not awake you this night, otherwise you will have another sleepless night again hahaha!!
      Thank you so much for your very nice comment and compliment, just great you played the song on your chrometta8, please upload it on YouTube, it doesn’t matter you don’t have a backing track, thanks for putting our song in your favourites, we are honoured!!
      Best regards and big hugs for the kids!

    • Hi Danny,
      It doesn’t matter when you play without a backingtrack, because I played my first songs: The Medley, Old Friend and Ode To Joy without a backingtrack too.
      When you agree I will ask Mayka to send you a backingtrack with the melody of The Moonriver, but you have to send me your e-mailadress, then we will send the backingtrack with an mp3 to your e-mailadress. I will send you my e-mailadress so you can answer me by e-mail for your privacy.
      Bye Chris.

      I play my chromatic harmonica for 1 and a half year now, it’s a very difficult instrument to play, because the holes of the instrument are far apart.
