about

As much as performing the songs, I wanted to explore some of their accompaniments, which are often complex, linear, and inextricably entwined with the main melody. For this one, I transcribed the original guitar part and adapted it specially for DADGAD guitarists who are really violinists.

This piece also follows Palaces of Gold in the 1968 songbook Look Here (which a friend was generous enough to leave on my doorstep during one of 2020's lockdowns) as part of a chapter entitled The Ugly Ones. I envy the lovers, riotously ignoring the memo to obey their “patriotic duty to buy”…
