about

In 1997 I had a wonderful 3-month gig at luxury hotel in Bangkok, just in this avenue. The hotel food was amazing, and we had the best of conditions. Access to all facilities, menu à la Carte and even Room Service. On top of that, our band was free to play whatever we wanted to play. We could even play originals! It was my first hotel residency gig ever, and subsequently I thought that all hotel gigs were like that. About 12 years later I ventured again as a musician into the Asian hotel realm, to shockingly find out that what I had lived in 97 was actually an exceptionally good and extincted gig species. I composed this tune while in that marvelous hotel suite, and named it after it's location. Sometimes the best we can tell about a song is the place where it was born.
