The Sky Blue RibbonTone is part of a larger instrumental tune called "10 Years" written by Curtis Fornadley. In his own words:
"I wrote "10 Years" to mark the 10 year anniversary of my mother's death from cancer. As the tune was developing I learned that my father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and that my pregnant wife was going to have a boy. I began thinking of the legacy of cancer and how it was probably inevitable that I would someday develop the same cancer as my dad and wondered whether my unborn boy would face the same fate. This memory and influence on the composition made this a natural selection for this RibbonTone."
"10 Years" is smooth jazz but with a sound and performance that is more authentic than this genre typically offers. The mood and the melody of the tune are at once catchy, relaxing and poignant.
"10 Years" is from "Out of the Shell", the most recent album from Curtis Fornadley and his band Curtis.
The music of Curtis is unique; blending instrumental rock, jazz and surf. Each tune is different from the next, yet there is a common thread that ties them all together: the balance between composition, soulful playing and virtuosity.
