I don't know if there really is a "lowlands touch", after all Jacques lives in the Belgian "highlands" (OK, everything is relative), but yes maybe there is in the works of some great artists, Jacques included... melancholy and at the same time something which transcends it.
I meant your touch Chris, or are you a highlander as well?
You also got me inspired to deliver some music to the forum, maybe I will surprise you in the near future with a traditional arrangement of a Toto-classic...
I also wouldn't mind to hear more from other Avalonians too
