This tune was recorded in 1997 and was very special in the fact that it has been the only tune of mine that was composed and recorded all in about 3 days. That’s
record time for me. No pun intended. I recorded this on my Fostex X‐26 four track cassette recorder. The name of the tune came
from me telling myself, “it’s going to be alright” when I couldn’t think of what to do next in the song. I was really into Greg Howe and had been for a long while so this tune was heavily influenced by him. The main melody in the verse section is reminiscent of one of the melodies in “Dusty Maid” from the Five album. I got the
drum groove from my old Kawaii Session Trainer. It was from one of the groove patterns called Losanna which was based around Toto’s “Rosanna”. I programmed my Roland R‐70 around that drum groove. The beginning changes in Alright came from reharmonizing a standard called “My Funny Valentine”. I
actually played the bass on this one and there are some pretty cool tapping bass licks used. For the sitar part in the mid section just before the free style solo I used the Roland GR‐9 guitar synth. I also used that for the strings section.
