Story Behind The Song

Provincetown is one of my favorite places on earth. Walking on Commercial Street many times over many vacations has inspired me to write this solo piano composition. The track was recorded live in one take on a Yamaha UJ1 48" upright.

Song Description

This is the "main street" of P-Town; starting inland and heading downtown, it's a quiet and leisurely morning walk past private houses with sumptuous and colorful gardens and flapping gay pride flags; as you draw closer to the center of town you pass a variety of art galleries and more and more shops, until you hit the gathering crowds mixed with vacationers and townies, dashing in and out of what seems like a thousand shops and eateries in the heart of town, with the distinctive smell of the sea in every breath you take - here you'll spend an exciting afternoon, buying souvenirs, going on a whale watch, taking a trolley ride, watching a show, people-watching, and eating breakfast/lunch/dinner - as you continue your walk towards the end of town, it's getting dark, the crowds are dissipating, there are fewer and fewer shops and restaurants, and more private houses; it's been a great day!
