This is my personal favorite of all of Tom's novelties. Thanks for uploading this. I like how he takes what is basically a Duke Ellington riff, and turns it into a theme, novelty-style. The B section, a major 3rd higher (in A major versus F major, if I remember right) is just pure genius, but then, so is the whole piece. I've been leaning on Tom to put this in one of his new folios; if it's not in no. 2, then it should be in no. 3.
Yeah it's still handwritten here. BTW, Andrew, Chip was asking about you and wants you to know that you have a standing invitation to stay at Skunk Hollow during the festival any year, so consider your lodging taken care of in future.
Thanks for pointing out the B section key change, I like it! IT is very clever to build on the Duke Ellington riff..AH, to have the technical ability to play like that!! sigh!!
i wish my fingers fumbled that well!!
