I've been finding/organizing my many unfinished compositions and trying to find some quality time to finish them. I found this tune (even though it is technically "unfinished") the other night and wanted to share it to see what people think.<br /><br />By the way, I dreamed the word "ineullis" one time and it stuck, so if you have any idea what it means let me know. And I created the accompanying video very quickly because Blogger doesn't allow for me to upload MP3 files, so I embedded the MP3 file into this video.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8311168233161135049-8078300817455730958?l=autokonia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chad Mairnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311168233161135049.post-72903356129798812512009-04-16T14:39:00.001-04:002009-04-16T14:39:50.535-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z6Nw890VlT0/Sed5N2Oi29I/AAAAAAAAAKQ/DRhYIVS66wQ/s1600-h/n94055382177_395.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 298px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z6Nw890VlT0/Sed5N2Oi29I/AAAAAAAAAKQ/DRhYIVS66wQ/s320/n94055382177_395.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325358363190680530" border="0" /></a><br />In honor of <a href="http://www.smithsonianjazz.org/jam/jam_start.asp">Jazz Appreciation Month</a>, St. Petersburg College will host Jazz in the Stacks, a free concert featuring the Helios Jazz Orchestra, on April 21, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. at its West St. Petersburg Community Library, 750 66th Street North, St. Petersburg.
