This is a lovely piece and the photos are so nice. I especially loved the photos at :48. 1:00 and 1:43...plus the little guy. The roadrunner! I love photography (can you tell?) and am a non-professional photographer who is trying to take the plunge to learn to play music. I liked the 'pizza' philosophy I saw on your site. That just might give me the final push I needed! Thank you for Heartland Air and the video that went along with it. A BIG thumbs up! My best, Moppet

Thanks so much, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment. If you want to play music, you can do it. Just find the instrument that appeals to you and have fun. It takes time, but it's the best game in town. - Allan Alexander

Very nice! The tune compliments the photos well, and vice-versa. I need to get our bikes out, tuned up, and ready to ride again. It's been too long since we've been on them.

Music and Bikes, they are really so much fun. I can't wait for March when it starts to warm up here. Maybe we will get a heatwave in December - Allan

Guess I've been putting Mt Lemmon off for sometime now. Gonna have to ride it. Enjoyed the music and the visionary ride.

MT Lemmon is really a blast. I finally made it to Summerhaven. 76 miles and 3020 calories. It was a great ride! - Allan

What a beautiful song! I've just started teaching myself to play the guitar; I hope to accompany myself singing. I'm a little while away from playing anything like this song, but I love early music. Thank-you and well done! Keep up with the cycling, impressive :)

Allan Alexander here, I sent you a couple of CDs in the past. I have some new music I would love for you to hear. I found a flute player to work with. I can send you a CD if you like. This is some of the best music I have made. If you come with a gig in a nice setting, not too loud which could be done with acoustic instruments, I might be interested Mindi (the flutist) is an outrageous player, as you can hear. - Allan

You know, it's really a great ride, but I have to say, for me it's a killer. I did it yesterday up to windy point, I would like to make it to Summerhaven, but that is a lot further. I need to be in better shape. - Allan

Hi, this piece is of course a guitar, mostly I play a Ramirez guitar. I don't own a kimberly mandolin, the one used on the other videos is a weber. Thanks for your note - Allan
