I wrote this song for my wife, Karin, back in late 2000, early 2001. I wrote it for tenor sax, guitar, keys, bass, and drums (we had a great fusion jazz group and wanted a reggae/ska tune). However, I have been wanting to make a split screen recording that featured several of instruments I have on hand. So, I wrote the horn arrangement for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxes. I also wrote some pads for the flute, clarinet, and bass clarinet. Best of all, it made my wife smile.

I used several BIAB styles on this arrangement. I hope I don't miss any of them.

I recorded this into Logic Pro 11. The saxophones were recorded using a Sennheiser 441 dynamic mic. The flute/clarinet/bass clarinet was recorded using a Sennheiser MK4 condenser mic. This was filmed with my iPhone Pro Max 15. I edited the video using Final Cut Pro.
