This is for the late Harry Beckett, the great trumpet player from Barbados who had a really particular bounce to his playing, which I tried to get a feel of in the tune here. I'm sure his response would have been "it's a beautiful situation", as it was to almost anything.

Fantastic. I'd read some online reviews which didn't like the spoken word parts. I love them. They fit seamlessly with the whole concept creating a thought provoking and awesome album. Steve Butler
