Wooden Candle

June 7, 2010

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, but I decided it was time to record it and write it out.

This version was recorded with bass and slide guitars.
