	Wow This is a bizarre take on a very old song> I understand this was written by King Henry VIII of England but I maybe wrong on this. The melody is still very much present, personally I think the bass is a bit too busy but thats my personal preference the guitar is light and frilly, very accomplished playing. Lovely rich tactile piece. Check out my latest song called The Jes on Sea Road

	marvelous! Marvelous; a very fresh and original take on a very old song. Doing this in 5/4 is a great idea! You've really captured a very special mood. Does it end a bit abruptly? 10-10-10-10 Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

	composerclark, This song is poet's surely. Serious romanticist. Is the ground in Britain fertile? Wasn't the flow of the sea a cold current? Country that gave birth to beautiful song. Nature might be also beautiful. Your descendant is very lovely. 10-10-10-10 to your son of gold. Check out my latest song called Mexican taste

	According to tradition... ...King Henry The VIII had TWO hit songs. The other is called PASTTIME IN GOOD COMPANY. Will you be thrilling us with a contmeporary rendition of of this one as well? (For a Jethro Tull version see: "King Henry's Madrigal" on the Stormwatch album remaster). Nice job here Tadashi-san. Fine light jazz played with a deft hand. Be well!
