As you can probably tell, this song was written and recorded in 5 different sections in March and April of 1995. It didn't appear on Enellen's "Millennia" album that year because I envisaged a lovely trumpet part to be played over the last 8 bars, and at that point, I couldn't get hold of a trumpet player. It was still minus trumpet when I finally mixed it to appear on this album in 2002. If you are buying the CD version from bandcamp, or indeed own the original valley version , that's the end of the story. But later when SideBMusic licensed this album in 2007, I took the opportunity to overdub some bongo drum to the end section to compensate for the missing trumpet. That version and complete 2007 remix appears here in digital download form for the 1st time, being previously only available on the sideBmusic CD version.
