just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.

I didn't do much to this one after all. I put a little harmony in and left it at that. Sometimes less is more, and I hope that's the case here...

One of the things I struggle with, with all of these pure piano pieces is how much to edit/fix them.

I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.

This is the title track of my RPM 2010 album. It describes how I juggle the bills each week and try to make ends meet. If you know the old joke, if the ends would not necessarily meet but just wave at each other once in a while, I'd be happy.
