        Good evening all,

        Hope you are all well.

        Here is my entry for this month’s challenge… I listened to the backing track, and got the “Fly Me to the Moon” vibe! One of my favourite old time songs!

        My wife and I have Covid this weekend! Playing this chilled and laid-back piece was the perfect antidote!

              Oh yeah, now I hear the Fly Me To The Moon melody with that. Cool!
              Covid still biting out there, eh? Hope you and your wife get better soon.

                  Nice fit, very creative to use Fly me to the Moon. This challenge has sure come up with so many ideas for this track. Good health to you both.

                    Great idea to put that old Sinatra classic over the track. Sounds really good, Richard. It must have been hard to do that while fighting Covid (and I thought we had left that behind us). Get well soon!

                        Some nice anti covid music you are playing, Rich. I‘m sure this will help to recover. All the best!

                          Hi Rich, what a creative combination of ideas! Great job hearing this classic tune in the track. It works!
                          All the best to you and speedy recovery.

                            I have to admit, I wouldn’t have ever thought of Fly Me To The Moon but I see how it works now.
                            It’s brightened my spirits, I hope it provides the cure for you too.

                              Good catch Rich “ fly me to the moon” fits the track in a subtle way , and it works nicely, with space to breathe.
                              Well played.
                              Hope you get over the covid soon .
