Encore in E major

Encore in E major (mp3 file)

Solo nylon string guitar.

Here's a little bonus track for you! I was working on this at the same time I was doing my other song in E major, but I decided to use the other one, which I consider to be one of my best tunes lately, certainly one of my favorites from this project.

However, I think this one has something going for it too, although you can easily recognize some of my favorite devices: add9 chords, descending chromatic basslines. I was working on this one until the last minute before recording, so it feels right to present it here.

Bear in mind that this track is NOT included in the zip file archive containg the other tunes.

Hope you enjoy. I wish everyone a happy new year, and my thoughts go out to all of the people out there in the world that are not as priviliged as I am. At the present time, my heart goes out to the children living on the Gaza strip, who are innocent victims in what seems a self-perpetuating cycle of violence. Watching this stuff on the news makes me sad and angry. Oh how I wish that the people who have the power to do something about this actually would do something. Futile as it may seem, I still make a wish for PEACE ON EARTH.
