Dreamy slide guitar capture’s the very essence of a tropical Island. Very cleverly played and produced!

Man this is so cool and breezy......I need an umbrella drink in my hand to go with this one. Great production! I'm getting flashbacks of Santo and Johnny......real cool Maui Blues!

Loving the sweet tones of the lap steel guitar. Very peaceful and dreamy. This really does transport one to the Island paradise. Just fabulous Michael.

I like the way you paint pictures with music, it conjures a place where everything looks brighter and clearer, with intense colors. Superb chill-out kinda music.

I can tell you love this place - this tune just transports you to that island paradise. Never been there myself but this makes me want to visit!
Great perfectly lazy carefree blues - wonderful stuff.

Another surprise, a bit of blue Hawaii. Very cool (yet warm) in concept, sweetly executed. This one just stops time.

That marvelous lap steel guitar is carrying me to the blue sea and green islands I never seen but dreamed so often of! :)
As I wrote, I get a so nice feeling of Santo & Jonny in some part of the track, lovely sweet sound Capitan!!! The most romantic Blues I ever heard! Hat off to you. :)

Nice steel control, you musta got a good hand/ear co-ordination. I find it hard enough with frets ! Great moody piece. Kudos. Love that long slide towards the end.
