about

In 1977, was helping a friend move, and noticed he was going to put his Steinway baby grand in storage. I suggested to him that it would be better for the piano if somebody played it regularly and kept it it tune. I probably should've just asked if I could borrow it for a home recording project. I think he knew that my piano care advise was bullshit, but he agreed anyway, and his beautiful piano lived in my dining room for a year or more. I did record about 22 songs during that period, some of which I took to Hollywood, attempting to get a record deal. I didn't get a record deal, but I did get a manager.

This little ditty is kind of just an exercise I created during that time, putting a 5/16 melodic pattern over a 4/4 bass rhythm. It's not really that hard to play, which is how it got its title.
