Twelfth Night
Written after one of dance caller Janet Shepherd's legendary Twelfth Night parties. I wrote this year's ago but only started playing this year. Sharon Green has written an English Country (Playford) dance to it which will be premiered in November. The more I play it, the more notes I leave out.
Performance by the Odd Sundays English Garage Band (Shira Kammen, strings; Judy Linsenberg, winds; and Patti Cobb, keyboard.)
