I haven't heard this song by TR before... but hearing this, gypsy classical music.. the term that came to mind.

That bit of discordance on C, during the early parts, struck me as 'wrong' (but I trust your ears more than mine.)

Good stuff. I like it a good deal better than the version from his album - which I checked out just now- doubt that would ever be one of my favorites from TR.

@marmas58ink

thanks. yeah there's some dissonance that i try to incorporate from the original. I have to say that song is one of my favorites on AWATS. I recommend listening to it several times, it will grow on you. :D

Excellent arrangement, this tune works so well stripped down like this, and so perfectly played. Fantastic stuff.
