December 11, Honolulu
I wake with a crack of thunder. It’s raining in Honolulu. Not many thunder-beings visit here. I wake up with the song I have found to follow the Redbird leaving home scene. It was going to be Equinox, which has the right feel, but the lyrics don’t carry the story forward. I could change the lyrics but for me, Equinox is Equinox, including lyrics. I sat with the scene yesterday, then remembered a song draft I have wanted to do something with, a horn and keyboard fragment. It works, exactly. I even made myself teary-eyed. Now, the work begins and I find I’ve left my midi keyboard in Albuquerque. Need to find one. Will work up the part on guitar because Larry will be the other half of this song.
