chris spheeris - shahzada

For fun...  a live recording of a piece I wrote many years ago around 18 years of age or so...

Recorded in 1998 in an empty church on the campus of the University of Southern California, where I was in the habit of going late at night to compose and practice.  (They had a great Yamaha C7.)   This seemed to me a much better use of time than the normal college stuff like keg parties, etc.  Don't be afraid to follow your dreams.  You never know where they might lead!

...not completely up to my 2014 standards, but a nice composition IMHO nonetheless, and sometimes there is something slightly magical in all the little imperfections in live recordings even if they are not the best fidelity or most impeccable performance.  I intend to re-record it sometime.

...thought I would share...  hope you enjoy.
