| "OPUS 5" is a culmination of mixes I had
never released in published form. I was ready to move on to new
tunes rather than recut
these, so I decided I would put these mixes out in the published
world.
I have had several requests for 2 of these cuts: 1) I Think I’ll Cha
Cha
(a.k.a. Chiquita Rita) & 2) Jungle Juice. These requests are
truly
an inspiration to me. A special thanks to those who requested the
songs
in recorded form. Before this work was even released (original
release
date was July 2000) I was asked "what does Opus 5 mean?". In the
Harvard
Brief Dictionary of Music an Opus is defined as the "work of a
composer".
The number 5 would represent which work it is, "usually in the order of
publication".
This is my 5th body of published songs so I thought OPUS 5 fit well AND
it
relieves the need to give this CD some combined theme or meaning.
So,
please enjoy as you will and remember that resistance is futile.
