Great track, Al, perfect piano line - this is the kind of minimalist production I just don't seem able to pull off

Thanks Jay. I used Addictive Drums on this. I was pleased with how it worked out. Ibanez and Nathan- the simplicity and minimalist aspect is a direct reflection of my intellectual capacity, or lack thereof! Thank you for your kind feedback. Best wishes,Al

Awesome piano work, Al. Really evocative of the mood. BRAVO!SuzP.S. Hmmm, all that's missing is a polka accordion riff at the end.

You are sheer genius! Thank you so much. I'm giving up music and am going to write a CSI screenplay- not uncommon in LA. OK, here's the plot...The story revolves around an evil accordionist. Sort of like a "bad clown", except in the place place of big feet and a red nose, he's got a squeezebox. Get it? Cool. It gets better...So- twisted Yankovic sits in a dark alley next to a Starbucks, playing for passers bye. (Note- the staff feeds him Frappucinos on their cigarette breaks- this guy has a MAJOR caffeine Jones happenning). He lures people into the alley with a little Rachmaninoff ditty, and then he ATTACKS! He lunges at them, with gaping bellows, and there's no escape! They can't get away, because he's playing feverishly and that makes the bellows behave like the jaws of a shark...Eventually, all of his victims succomb. The frenzied accordionist quickly flattens and folds them with the bellows until they look like clean laundered hankies, with nothing but their little eyes bugging out...This guy becomes a complete menace and begins hitting the local MacDonalds...I can't share the ending here. It's proprietary.What'ya think? We could collab on the film score. Huh?Great to have you back on the boards Suz!Best wishes,Al
