• Info: This is a seven pager. I had to treat it as several different pieces of music; managed to record in one take but with the inevitable huge clanger, early on as it happened; not gonna tell you what I didn`t play . . .too much information lol! Just hope some of the original strength of this piece by Bob Shoeman is apparent. I`m sure you`ll let me know! Now, the themes run repeatedly through the music but I didn`t realise at the time that they were all in different keys . . . suffice to say it took me a long long time to sort this out. Had to play from memory since the music was unreadable at this speed. Well, it`s not that fast, but (shrug) fast enough for me. Again, we have this stand off between speed and accuracy. It does rattle along with much force and has a relentless quality, unstoppable, squashes everything in it`s path. A steamroller of a tune! Yes, fellas would like this! Hope you do too!
