| This has always been a favorite guitar piece of mine. Written by Fernando Sor, it has the wonderful ambience of the key of B minor. I began studying it on a brilliant fall day while I was living in norhtern Illinois. I lived on the second story of a really old house, in a tree filled neigborhood. I was practicing near an open window, and the trees were bursting with color and swishing in the breeze. I should probably re-record this someday with some of that swooshing wind in the mix, because, that and the fall colors are in my head every time I hear or play this song anyway!

| Orion is the favorite constellation of many people (likely because the light polluted skies these days render it the only one most of us can see!) Anyway, in winter, sometimes the stars are so bright and vidid, and the image of Orion is so incredibly, monstorously, totally huge in the sky, that you can understand why the ancients would tell stories about a great hunter, staring down the great bear. Admittedly, the title was an afterthought, but it seems to work partly because the arrangement flows a bit like a story told around a campfire. At least, so it seems to me, and I have to name it something! | |

| Dude. Why would you name a solo classical guitar piece "next orbit"? "Well", he said, scratching his chin, "this one, like kind of has some spacey circular parts, you know, kinda like orbits are circular right? (ok, so their elliptical - whatever). Then, so like I just thought I would call it 'next' you know, because like it's not an old orbit you know, it's like a newer one. like exploring new cosmic territory with nothin' but an old classical guitar."
Okay, yeah, okay, i get it.
