The end game

Sometimes you'll only play the songs that you want to play. Sometimes you play the songs that someone else want you to play.  If they need it

I'll play whatever you ask for

My good friend the late Phil Hawkes plays Slumber Song, a 1908 piece by the W Herbert Lanyon.  I showed him the score just before I switched my phone on to record him playing through it.  Phil gets the last laugh in the end. Apologies for the poor recording quality.
