Bluer Than Blue Bluer Than Blue
A LONG, SLOW, SAD Blues song with strong Floydian tones and gruff baritone sax interludes, a CUT, and a CUTOFF. It is always a delightful experience when composing to discover something that seems to WANT to reveal itself to you, and you merely UNCOV

A catchy blues tune and chord sequence. This is the short version, but I'm thinking of taking this to a film theme.

You are walking into the Stadium. The band is already playing. You arrive backstage, and the door opens, and you're ONSTAGE!

Rather sweet, with echoes, grungy build.
