Programme Note
Vladimir Nabokov (my favourite novelist) was once asked by an interviewer what he thought about paperback books. His reply to this curious question: "Neat little things!"
Under this general title, I have collected a few of my compositions which draw on various popular styles. As with much of my stuff, this is conceived as an ongoing project to which pieces can be added in future. Here are the pieces so far:
Sneakin' Home: A sideways take on the Blues.
Snapshot: The title of this nostalgic little song refers to the now somewhat outdated term for a hastily taken photograph, and in writing it I had in mind the mixture of fleeting memories and bittersweet emotions that surely I am not alone in feeling in response to an old yellowing photo of a family scene, time-frozen face of a lost love, etc.
