Hi Dan

Thanks for listening...as always. No, the backing track is me hitting upon by accident a nice string sound in Ableton Live 11 (my new DAW) which reminded me a bit of Byrd. I actually then played the backing track on my laptop computer!!! Then improvised over that improvisation on the steel. It's all fakery really, but sounded nice. I have a slightly better version here, which will be on a future album:
