'Teatime in August'

What is the story behind the name?

Well, my friend, take a seat by the fireplace and listen to a grand tale from days of old. A tale that takes us back to the time of knights and white stallions and silver blades brandished high. Where a fair dame once graced the fields of lavender with long hair streaming like a river of honey…

Haha, of course I’m just joking. And I question the effectiveness of this imagery “hair streaming like a river of honey”… A river of honey would be rather slow. Tremendously slow. Perhaps the hair is waving about in the wind in a dramatic super slow motion panning camera movement…??

But anyway...Teatime in August is simply the name of a little piano ballad I composed a couple of years ago. Now that is a grand tale set aside for another night by the fireplace, surrounded by dusty books and spilt crayons and much hearty laughter.
