lyrics

When I was first working with my own Midi set-up, around 2000, I taught myself how to use it by making a few “theme and variations” arrangements, using tunes I play on piano now and then. Three of those arrangements appear here. I think they’re fun and catchy, and I wanted to have these songs exist out in the world, when I’m no longer here to play them. The other two are my own compositions, but this one is by my brother Bill.

I put it together in the late spring of 2002 to send it to him as a birthday gift. He made the song up when we were little; we were about eleven (him) and five (me) at the time. There are (simple) words to this tune, but I didn’t include them. Everyone in my immediate family knows this song. I know that, in this swinging arrangement, the melody sounds suspiciously like a certain old American folk song, but in its original format, which was to a 6/8 march, there was no similarity at all. The last 30 seconds of this track are among my favorite moments of anything I’ve ever recorded: pure joy expressed through music.
