Piece Description
This is a short version of the story "No Mo Joe" about a guitar player (myself) who becomes close friends with an elderly gentleman named Joe who played the saxophone. After the death of Joe, I was left with alot of his personal effects. It was here, I discovered boxes of amatuer tapes Joe had made of our weekly jam sessions together. He had saved all of these recordings and marked certain ones as his favorites. These are a top five list of songs we did together that serve as background to the last years of Joes life caught on tape. I suppose it's my way of finding some closure.
