about

This song was an improvisation from start to finish. I reacted to a virtual instrument that resembled a nylon string guitar, although I played it on a piano keyboard. At times, it captures the essence of a real guitar player. The title of the song is inspired by my upcoming project, which happens to be my mother's autobiography in the show business. While going through her notes, I made an intriguing discovery—she had appeared in several Marx Brothers films. According to her writings, even after the director yelled "cut!", the brothers remained in character and would pursue the attractive actresses all the way to their dressing rooms. Interestingly, Harpo, one of the brothers, never uttered a single word in any of the films, which might have been a source of lament for him. ;-)
