Memories of beautiful St Lucia, A A B A . An unashamed Carribean variation  of "Catwalk"  Each A section is very bluesy in slow 7/4 time against the fast Carribean rhythm, and the melody based on intervals of 4ths, while the contrasting bridge is is 4/4.

Because of the slow structure and the distinctive last 3 beats of each bar, it's much easier to solo in 7/4 than you'd think.
