Recorded in Hawaii, acoustic guitar and early morning trades through the trees. Keyboards and Bass track added by my brother Greg in Durango Colorado. Took Tess's (Sister Savages) advice and removed the percussion!
Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!

This is another composition from the early 90, and also a bass line. I added some arrengements to it, and it was, eventually, the third part of a long 'spacial' suite called 'Mars'. I could upload the 'part one' bass line one day, which I think…
