Closing tune for my senior percussion recital at the University of Kentucky entitled "Repurposed" and arranged from an original track by my friend Mark Rabuck. The original track was written and recorded as his final project for our trip to Ghana, West Africa in the summer of 2012.

Three Weeks in Ghana

This is an arrangement of The Parting Glass, a traditional Irish song, arranged for vibes using a loop pedal with bodhran accompanying. This particular performance had quite a few technical glitches, but the last 3 minutes or so is a good representation of what I was going for.

The Parting Glass
