about

I had come up with a two-part tune that I presented to Darol Anger one afternoon in the summer of 2021, asking if he would be interested in adding a third section that was a bit more adventurous than what I had already composed. Less than an hour later, he had delivered the third part that you hear on this track, complete with a harmony fiddle part. Thank you Darol! There's a subtle tip of the hat to my mentor Sonny Osborne in the tune's second section, with its climbing sixths. Our mentors inevitably depart from us but they remain with us through the music that we feel and create.
