"Updraft"

The final track on Theological Library Music, "Updraft," is a personal favorite, with its several odd time signatures (7s, 9s, 11s, 6s). Fun to play, and perhaps a bookend to my first solo guitar piece, "The Call," which was built on a 7/8 flat-picking sequence. Hard not to think of the great riff of "Solsbury Hill," which I have never quite mastered, or its liminal lyric — a recall, if you will.



Perhaps a prelude for Ascension? Or, if you are using the RCL, next time these Sundays come around:

Year B - Epiphany - Transfiguration Sunday, or

Year C - Season after Pentecost - Proper 8 (13).
