lyrics

The final of the three piano pieces here (along with “Bugada” and “Cloth”). The title has little to do with the music, and does not at all reflect the raucous, rollicking sound of the thing. It dates all the way back to the mid 1970’s. The story of the title is convoluted, but basically, this was the backing/melody for a set of lyrics around which my friend Andy and I would improvise lyrics.

But it works, for me, as an instrumental just as well. This is basically a broken-chord exercise, written when I was 16, and a piece which have been playing ever since. In 2001, I constructed this version using my first Midi keyboard, and that’s what’s heard here in theme and variations. Again, this is not twisted in any way, but I'd hate to be gone before a version of it is out in the world, because it is undoubtedly the piano piece I've played the most often in my life.

Enjoy the fish!
