The music ranged from Tim’s composition inspired by the mighty Erie Canal lock 17, titled “Lock 17”, to a Coltranesque piece called “The Way,” a big bandish romp called “Walt’s Fault,” a swinging blues tune titled “I’m Tired,” and the standard “Sunny Side of the Street,” which was sassily sung by Susan.
