Ode to Abbott

I was asked to write a commission for the Airmen of Note as part of winning the Sammy Nestico award. Looking for inspiration, I wrote this happy piece about an adorable puppy I found in a pet shop. Unfortunately, I was unable to bring him home, but the song remains in tribute. This song always reminds me of the music of The Yellowjackets.

As performed by the Budman/Levy Orchestra.
