    Acoustic guitarist battles it out with an electric guitarist, each alternating between lead and a "walkin' rhythm" accompaniment (see free sheet music under photos). A "non sequitur" is a "red herring" or just plain illogical, like when you say NO, I say YES, over and over and over. A yes is a yes is a yes, but a "maybe" is a yes is a no-no inside. Dont' inspect the obvious too closely lest you discover your folly bares tendons better left covered. Take it at face value, for what its worth--non sequitur is not deception but divergence from conformity--that is, freedom!

    Story Behind the Song
    The standard Jazz-Blues changes, complete with extended and short ii/Vs, enfolds a melody that is almost a chord solo itself. As a child I knew that eventually I would play these multi-line solos that come out sounding like chords. The melody takes you there, but the chords portend the future--easily decerned by a master of harmony, but obvious to everyone by the second verse.

    Lyrics
    Non sequitur means
    just off base enough
    irrelevant, "red herring"

    Don't look too close
    at most of your friends
    there too much irrelvance

    Go one, get your pile
    seek what everyone else says is true
    your every move becomes a non sequitur

    Hit the mark
    don't spin your wheels
    time is biting at your heels
