I know what you’re thinking: “Hey, he named this week’s piece after a battle from the early days of World War I in 1914!”  Well, yes; yes, I did.  Don’t ask me why (oh, for the love of God,please don’t ask me why!)

I actually came up with the drums first and filled in the rest of it while enjoying blueberry pie and coffee; that’s just how the creative mind works.  With any luck, the Christmas spirit will hit me soon and I’ll stop writing these darker pieces for awhile.  Hey, it could happen!
