Here is a new song inspired by a flyer I found at a yard sale, advertising the Lafayette Bazaar, near where we used to live in Manhattan, but in 1840. I was inspired to make a song from this by John Lennon, who wrote Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite from a poster he found in an antique shop. This song includes a steam calliope in the instrumentation, a first for me.

An interesting piece, Will. Ambitious lyrically and instrumentally. There were times that I thought the instruments could be a bit louder and a bit "crisper". But, overall, I'd say you hit your mark.

Wow - really nice tune, Will! It is very unique, and the intro on this is fantastic! I think you nailed this one on the head. It is wonderfully distinct, and have an awesome groove to carry the whole thing through.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
