Far and Away - by Gunnar Madsen (1997), arr. Bendrew Jong (2012)
When I started my architecture practice in the 70's, I lived in a sweet, large studio apartment in North Berkeley.  Sharing a common wall was a couple of UC Berkeley students, one of whom was a quirky, charming kid named Gunnar Madsen.  30 years later, while I was the artistic director of a performing arts theater in Berkeley (for fun) we invited an "a capella" group named the Bobs to perform for a couple fund-raisers...and lo and behold the founder of the Bobs was none other than Gunnar.  They had just performed for the Oscars!  And Gunnar was making a living, writing all the music for "Sex in the City"!  I didn't even know Gunnar was a musician!!!  Anyway, "Far and Away" is one of the songs Gunnar wrote for "Sex in the City" and later I arranged it as an alternative tango for Orquesta Z, my tango band!  So here it is...
