What’s the Story? Like it’s sibling piece Some Other Time, I wrote this as an undergraduate at Western Michigan University. They’re also both from “On The Town.” (Someday I’m going to finish the whole suite I planned 25 years ago.) This particular piece is a very Hi-Lo’s-esque piece with some musical humor and silliness along with rich harmonies.

Can I Hear It? Not yet, but I’ll update this page when it is!
