Early seventies type electric blues thing.
Here's some lyrics:
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
You wanted the one thing I couldn't give you
No matter how hard I tried
Bye Bi Baby
We had some fun…
This was written during a time when I was away from home a great deal. My better half called me, and the gist of the conversation became the lyrics of this song.

The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.

While writing music for Ron Wyman's film "Agadez" (featuring Bombino!) this sweet little Kalimba part had to get recorded... It sat on a drive for a while forgotten until RPM 2011 shed light on it... I'm thrilled at how well the Kalimba came out…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

The track is best listened to in context of the video, since it's scored…
