Riffon time. This is Skylark.

I almost didn't do this song as it doesn't fit the format, at least for me. Part of the problem is I'm not familiar with the song enough to smooth out the harmonic rhythm at this tempo. I ran through (or should I say slowly strolled) the piece before recording and I played it really slow. There's a lot of rich harmonic content here and some of it is packed into tight places.

This makes for a pretty standard breakdown of my playing, which might be a good thing for listeners. I have to say it sounds rushed through to me.
