Happy Holidays Bring A Musical “Change Of Season”

Change Of Season instrumental
on BandCamp

I was a huge George Winston fan on discovering him in college (in addition to many other influences in very different genres) and always felt I didn’t play piano as well. That’s probably still true, but I can play and this song certainly touches on some of the same reflective feelings his music brings up in me.

Unlike him I usually write lyrics to my music, lots and lots of lyrics. Really surprised that I didn’t for this tune, but that’s how the song wanted it. Someday I’ll want to transcribe the music and recreate the melodic track it with a proper guitar, and I know just the guy to help.

I’ve  had a languishing BandCamp account for a while now, so I tidied up and hid a sloppy demo of something else and offered up this plaintive but optimistic gift from the hands of the creative tendrils we all share through my hands to yours. I took the photo last year as well on a trip to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. Seemed fitting.

Happy Joyous __________ to you and yours.

P.S. Pretty certain you can listen to the song without having to buy it, so please enjoy in any way you can!

P.P.S. My megawatson.bandcamp.com liner notes: This reflective holiday instrumental, created in late fall 2015 using GarageBand on the iPad with midi connection to a Roland digital piano. Built out of an improvisation with a second improvisation added on top, I literally don’t remember how to play it beyond the four-chord opening that urged me to plug in the recorder. Crazy. Slightly remixed this Fall 2016.
