This musical creation is by far the most difficult song that I've ever composed, arranged, played, recorded, and produced.

It started in my old rental apartment in Brooklyn and took me many years to complete. When I look back, I can't believe that I actually could finish this task - I had no money, experience, or knowledge of how to work with "real" American high-caliber musicians...

This piece of music is very personal and represents the cacophony of my late '20s (and yearly '30s) life in the US. It was a very difficult time for me, both professionally and personally.

BTW, this is me playing sampled piano at the beginning of the song - I didn't like Kenny's performance and had to overdub his piano part at the beginning of the song. I think you can clearly hear the transition - I had to use the different electric piano (everything was rental or a friend's instruments).

Nevertheless, Kenny was a Genius, and I'm glad that I had a chance to work with him on a few songs.

Thanks for your support, my very best,

Arthur Sadowsky, New York, 8-25-2021
