Smooth jazz created with Garageband virtual instruments and my guitar work
Synths at Night
Guitar played in this is a Squier Strat Deluxe, a very fine budget Strat played through Boss's "Effected Q" preset. (I kinda wish I had made this song a touch longer but I can always do an extended remix :-)

Your musical influences
Classic rock from the 60s, 70's, 80s, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Cheap Trick, ELO, The Ventures, The Shadows & surf music in general, & classic movie soundtracks (Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann), ambient music. Strong melodies and hooky choruses with great harmonies have always been what keeps me interested in this thing called music. Another influence is the quick bits of song ideas that run through my mind that either get forgotten quickly or never quite come out sounding the way I imagined them (if they get written at all)What equipment do you use?
Squier Stratocaster Deluxe, Washburn acoustic/electric, Zoom G1ON effects pedal, iPad Pro, Behringer XENYX 802 mixerAnything else?
My goal is to create that one song that catches your ear, and stands out from the vast ocean of unsigned home-recording music creators, that one song that invites you to play it again & again. But then I guess that would be everyone's goal and I'm really nowhere near that but it's the goal that keeps me motivated.READ MORE

Great ride and good sounds!
Should appeal to fans of soundtracks from spaghetti Westerns
A bit of a sixties vibe on the piano with 70s-era synths on top!
You have a very good ear Rick. I do love Mike Oldfield, but mostly for his pre-Celtic style music like Voyager. Thank you very much for listening and leaving a comment. =)
