Floot Loops was composed in 1979 as a gift to the composer�s wife, Marion. Each movement has some connection to everyday life and the struggles of making your way early in the adventure. Since blues are normally written in a 12-bar pattern, the 13-bar structure of the first movement hints at some extraordinary discombobulation. Zeed is one of those goofy bits of vocabulary coined in a household and refers to the z�s designating sleep in a comic strip bubble. Letters Home came about because the jobs of the composer and his wife forced them to live apart for a time. There was no internet at the time, so they wrote letters to stay in touch. Cat�s Meow, it will come as no surprise, refers to the three cats who allowed the family to share their domicile. Temporary Help references a dispatcher�s job at a temporary help agency held for a brief time with an inordinate number of interesting stories brought home to relate.
