NOTE: I gave up adding links to new 2021 compositions to this page as it was a clumsy method! Further new composition links appear in the general daily index as usual.
I’ve been listening to, and enjoying, some of your compositions today. I’m not a musician, but they are interesting and energetic.

Thanks Tom – that is greatly appreciated. I had an enthusiastic response from a friend to whom I gave my purchased copy of “No More Can Fit into the Evening”. In fact he phoned last night and I couldn’t shut him up! He thought your introduction was excellent.

The first is very dramatic Bruce and the second is like a lighter relief, lovely!

Thanks Herb. The second one took me about ten times longer to do!

Thank you, Chris. And I know that fell and feel are pretty much the same word!!

I liked both but second one is the one that I liked the best…the intro alone is great. Great job Bruce.

Thanks Max. My favourite one is the first because it took only about 20 minutes to create and the other took about three weeks – so I was sick of it by the time it was finished!

I understand that! The intro to the second would be a good pop intro.
