Maureen,

Lovely Images - nicely put together.

But, for me, the music does not "fit". The "bluesy" music is either New York or the Deep South and if you didn't know what the piece was called its relevance would be a puzzle.

Thank you, Dave.  Interesting comment.  I guess we all hear music differently.

Sorry, maybe I was a little harsh but I have never associated Gershwin with Italy. I expected light, airy strings or maybe some subtle mandolin.

 

[Lakelandlass]

No offence taken, Dave, honestly.  For what I was trying to create, which is a relaxing, sitting down with a glass of wine, watching the scenery type of holiday, it suited MY MOOD exactly.  If you try to disassociate that musical piece from 'Porgy and Bess' which as you state is set in the  Deep South, and I realise that is difficult,  then for me it works. 

Thought of you the other week when we went to a concert given by the Mandolinquents, don't know if you have ever heard of them.  Different mandolins, guitars, violins - super!

Hey Dave, since writing the above, maybe I will give it a go.  I've got some mandolin music.

I have lots if you want to try something different?

Thanks again, however, will try what I have.  It won't be the first time I have rejigged a show at someone's suggestion.
