1. The Benevolent Dr. K (Kostakos): a tribute to my Dr. of nearly 20 years and one of my favorite people (Katherine is her 1st name).
2. Gettin' Ahead of Myself: A reference to my lifelong proclivity for jumping the gun. Always wanted to write to this title.
3. Egret Regret: I thought up the title and liked its sound, then wrote a dark instrumental commentary on man's slow elimination of wildlife and ecosystems. I hope at least some people regret it...
*Edit: Oops! The good doctor needs a dot on the 1st beat, 2nd ending of B---or else you may grow dotty trying to play it...
Weasel words? Haha you are definitely trying to wind me up.
