(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
