Good arrangement and mix Mike! I am sure that Erik Satie would be
happy to hear it. (He's been dead for 80 years, so he would be happy
to hear you fart. ha)

Debussy and Satie: I didn't know that they were friends.
(from Wikipedia) Satie composed/published Trois Gymnopedies when he
was about 22. Eight years later, Satie's popularity and financial
situation was at an all time low. Debussy decided to orchestrate Trois
Gymnopedies to draw more public attention to the work. Good man
Claude!
