Description
This song was written by my late best fiend, Aaron Michael Leonard. He died in 1999, and I inherited his music catalog. Like me, Mikey was heavily inspired by Chuck Mangione. This song was always my favorite in his catalog, and since I was doing this CD with a level of seriousness heretofore unknown, I wanted this lovely song included. It needed significant adaptation and re-arrangement, but it retains its original essence. In what was one of the many small miracles of this CD’s production process, I decided to give the tune to Chris Vadala (Chuck Mangione's sax/flute player from 1975-1990). I recorded the flute parts with Chris in Rockville MD on August 29th of 2009; and I got to spend that day, the tenth anniversary of my best friend and "brother’s" death, recording his material with our mutual sax hero. How much better can life be? I'm playing the drums, bass, keyboard and guitar parts, Chris Vadala on flute.

Another immaculately produced and composed piece. I really love your bass playing. Melodic and in the pocket! Downloaded!
