Blues for After the Rain
22 August 2007
Category: Original Compositions
I composed this tune between January and September 2005. My inspiration came from two events: A night without electricity after a severe thunder storm and evacuating with my family from Houston to Oklahoma during hurricane Rita. Fortunately, the hurricane missed Houston by about 100 miles, but unfortunately it did produce some tragic effects.
Guitar Tuning: D.A.D.F.A.D
Because of the circumstances that inspired this composition, I dedicate it to the victims of natural disasters worldwide and as a prayer for the survivors, hoping that they have put their lives back together or soon will do so.
This tune reveals my influences from blues and progressive rock music such as that from Pink Floyd, Yes and others. Though it is a bit long, the tune presents several variations throughout so it's like several songs in one. Hence, I categorize it as "progressive-symphonic" blues.
