song 121 : Mr. Slow (Tacoma Ballet)

This sultry cocktail blues song about hesitant seduction was singled out by most reviewers as a highlight of Tacoma Ballet. I can’t stand it. But it does feature Ronnie’s minimalist slow hand solo intertwining with Diane’s MemoryMoog moodscape, and there’s some nasty ass bass and guitar groove by Greta and Larry.

Our heroine is confronted by a less enthusiastic than expected response to seduction. Is this smoldering erotic hesitation, or the pang of conscience, or has he really lost interest?

Maybe he would go with her? Maybe he could give her a reason to stay? Maybe she should discover that he is only memory now. Maybe she just wants to have some fun.
