Thank You, Sir


Written and Recorded in 1990

An instrumental tune I wrote in the spring of 1990. I don't remember how this tune was written but perhaps the inspiration for building up this thing came from Buried Alive in the Blues, an instrumental stuff featured in Janis Joplin's unfinished album Pearl, performed by her band called the Full Tilt Boogie, and another lovely instrumental track called Breathless by Todd Rundgren.

When the demo recording was finished, I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate the tune to a fictional character from a story I had written for an abandoned Rock Opera scheme in the previous year - at least in my personal recognition.

The character, in the abandoned story, was regarded as a guitar guru, who loves Led Zeppelin at the most and in that sense, the tune might have been adequate to be dedicated to the character's taste in music.
Nonetheless, the name of the character has nothing to do with possible public viewers at all so that when I uploaded the video, I just simply replaced the meaningless noun to the word 'Sir' at the end of the title.
