an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…

It’s been a while since listening to a tune of your Richard a moment to think and contemplate thank you
