Story Behind The Song

When I starting making this piece I really had no idea about what the music was about. After writing about a third of it the music told me what it wanted to be. I was that fat kid and in the 50s my brother and I had complete freedom about where we rode.

Song Description

In this piece for piano and chamber orchestra, you can hear the balloon tires hitting the seams in the street as well as the bell mounted on the handlebars.
