This is one of 3 "Auction" songs, written for yearly fundraising auctions at a UU fellowship I used to belong to. The winners for this first year, I don't remember exactly what they requested. I think they let me pretty much do what I wanted…

Getting my 7/8 groove on. Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.
