My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
This probably started on the guitar as it starts with ‘chords with fingers missing’ in a hypnotic repeating sequence.

I sent it off to Jon and he delivered big time with the fabulous middle-eastern styled alto sax… I later added the synthesiser on the break.?
