by Rob Hall and Chick Lyall

This track is taken from the CD 'The Beaten Path' by Rob Hall and Chick Lyall and was composed by Rob Hall. It can best be described as a Scottish dance seen through a pair of jazz/gospel spectacles. At least that's usually how Rob announces it at their gigs! The CD was recorded on location in Edinburgh during March 2005 and was the culmination of 2 years development of the duo project.

The track lasts for 4.5 minutes. It is stored in mp3 format and also in 'ogg vorbis' format, each of which will download and play on most computers (Winamp should play both formats. So too should Audacity). Ogg vorbis is similar to mp3 but is thought by many to have better sound quality. The download time may be long (many minutes) over a slow connection and most computers won't begin to play the song until it has downloaded completely. But IT IS WORTH WAITING FOR.

You can also listen to a short mp3 extract of around 1 minute or you can listen to an ogg vorbis extract if you prefer.
