This is one of my favorite compositions. It was written for piano prior to my first semester of college in ‘98. I’ve always felt it could be developed into a longer piece, but I like it as it is– short and self-contained. It’s hard to forget a tune when you’ve played it hundreds of times for over a decade.

This version was recorded with bass and slide guitars.
