I was going for a sleepy, or dreamlike state of mind when I wrote this. Once Mike added his sax, well I knew it was magic. He captures the mood with style...

Yes, that is a C diminished chord in the picture, and in the end solo section of the song.
I hope you enjoy.

Brilliant piece in all the facets of writing and arrangement. Love the down tempo mood and accomplished use of colors and textures. Mike's totally expressive playing is superb as is everything else. Delight to listen to Brian, this is awesome stuff. Deserves to be heard!!!!!!! ..B

I could feel the wabblyness and the room spinning the confusion in the mind of the drunk person who think he is not drunk, but so well arrange by you, it has a cinematic strong feel because you convey that sense so well (to me at least this is what I feel in the emotion of this) the sax is almost like the drunk getting mad then just dropping dead drunk. Was real fun to listen to this amazing piece of creative music.

No gripes here from what I hear. Just dripping with all kinds of soul. I love the sax and the interplay of the keys and sax. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

So let me get this right, this is a drinking song via the medium of instrumental jazz? To my hearing, a sort of voiceless mini drama. Hope I am right! If so very clever and engaging. My only gripe is that the piano sound would not be my favourite. ftlpope
<p>I was a professional drummer for 15 of the last 35 or so years, playing clubs, concerts, and studio work. About 13 years ago I found it too limiting, so began writing around a midi keyboard setup and my computer. I spend most of my time developing piano and synthesizer lines for my music. My style is an eclectic mix of influences being a mix of Progressive, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, SciFi , Soundtracks, Classical, Jazz, New Age and Electronic music. Most songs are mixed genre ... but they do vary quite a bit, so if you don't find something you like, try something else. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the musical journey. Brian</p>
