Thanks to all of you for your uplifting comments. I feel inspired and grateful for the long distance collaboration with fellow musician Carlo.I have coined it M.M.A.T. ( not to be mixed up with L.A.T. ): Making Music Apart Together.
It is really great recording in this way, all the more so because one can do things at one's own leisure and still within the confines of your own room. I have also re-discovered the great pleasure of playing my acoustic guitar...
regards,
John
