Thank you @all for comments - glad you enjoyed my attempt and its limitations, and, tyvm also @Fiddlerman  - glad you liked the "feel" - I really did try....

  Oh yes indeed, I see what you say Pierre - there "has to be a limit" as to what one can "feel free to do" ( especially when soloing and there's no-one to "cover" for yah LOLOLOL ) ...  very well pointed out, and thank you.    

  Because I "free-formed" it - I had almost thought about laying down a click-track first for my "slightly adapted" version - maybe I should have - and let the "head" have some control over the "heart"...  right... good point...

.....  ok - self-analyses - yes - always a good thing - Bill plays it back and pretends it wasn't me playing.....     right - how do I say this - I don't know - it can "kind of run-on" maybe - no obvious "stress" points / rhythm - I kind of know what I'm getting at... no - you couldn't really fit in a waltz to it overall....   OK...  yes... I'm  getting it... RIGHT -  I'll pay much more attention to timing / rhythm in future (slaps fiddle and says "get it right next time!")

   That was very helpful feedback Pierre, and much appreciated!  Thank you very much !  It's such a nice tune it is worth the extra effort to make it better !   Thanks again !

  Cheers, 

         Bill
