An instrumental with some Eastern music influences. The underlying repeating piano motif is in a transposed pentatonic scale. From F# to G in order to make it slightly easier for me to play.!

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A few unusual chord changes takes this Eastern (Japanese) flavoured tune into more familiar Rock territory. There's a nod of thanks to the influence of Be Bop Deluxe's song, 'Japan' at the ending of the tune. I guess that those in the 'know' would have spotted this anyway. ...Thanks Bill!

Excellent fusion of prog rock and Eastern styling. Very well arranged and produced. Impressive guitar work too. I like the way it has that Major Snagg signature vibe, yet ventures into other areas and has other elements.
