Lady Lullaby

Written and Recorded in 1987

One of my original compositions from my early years. This thing was written for my then band Flowers and performed live by them for only once in summer 1987, which is what is featured on the audio track of the video. At the time of writing, the band had another member who played the keyboard so that I could expand the range of my knowledge on chord progression I have acquired by then into this new creation. However, the keyboard player suddenly left the band in the last minute run up to the scheduled live show and I had to convert the tune to be played by the band left as a trio.
This change of the line-ups caused a disastrous mistake that occurred during the second half of my guitar solo section. Needless to say, I have cut off that disastrous piece but as a result, I could make the entire tune shorter and more comfortable for casual listening.
The title of the tune was taken from a line from one of my favourite songs back then - Crazy Fingers by the Grateful Dead - though musically, both had nothing to do with each other...
