From the recording When I Look at You
Ethel and I lived on Las Gallinas when my daughter was just a little baby. The title (translated, the moon over the chickens) is just another example of my twisted sense of humor, but the music, anything but a joke. For you musicians, I wrote this song in F#mi, a truly horrible key for horns, who live in the key of Bb. Chris not only first heard and learned the song the day of the recording, he blew us all away with his truly transcendent solo. Later, I moved the key down half a step, making life much much easier for any horn players who care to take this on in future.
