Thank you Wade, nice of you to say...My thought behind this piece was that i decided in my version to slightly steer the whole thing away from playing it 'straight' and also my improvisation away from predictable 'changes' and and add my own touch which i think comes through.

Cheers Timbosax, thanks for taking time listening to it!
