St. Elmo's Fire
My first tune! Many thanks to Armand (Fiddlinviolin) for turning the turgid mess I called into ABC into a legible tune.
If you want to know why it's named after the creepy electrical discharge seen on ship masts, my English class was slogging through the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and I was perusing Moby Dick at the time. I hope it manages to evoke the melancholy and surrealism of both those merchant fairy tales. Good fun on the B part - F natural and B flat! Huzzah! Enjoy it all.

Mighty!
And man what a mess! But it was fun to clean up... Much like wrapping ends at the deli. You have NO IDEA how much enjoyment I get out of stretching plastic wrap over cut up deli-ness in a container. So fun.
Cheers,
Armand
