Hello Jean:

Sorry to arrive so late to the "waltz." I see you've experienced a couple of interesting "hi-jackings" along the way... LOL!

Instrumentals:

Love 'em... as long as they are well done, inspiring or otherwise interesting. Often, I'll listen and spend a little time creating lyrics for something that really catches my ear. I seldom follow up with the Instrumentalist because the time and logistics usually become too involved. Many composers are insulted that songwriters would want to add lyrics... LOL, while others are quite receptive.

Of all the genres where instrumentals seem to "shine" the most... Jazz and Light Classics plus old-time Pop sounding tunes get my attention first.

Great topic. Interesting replies.
