Work in Progress Pt. 2

Here is tune number 2.

It has a title.

Smoke.

A little explanation about the title. My children were making their first attempts at playing something coherent at the piano a few years ago and they had both picked up the riff from 'Smoke On The Water'. Now this a fine tune but, after the nth time hearing it thrashed out by an over enthusiastic child something had to be done.

I sat at the piano one afternoon and came up with a raft of alternate changes and after a while a melody presented itself to me and I was off to the races. Through in some bars of 3/4 and hey presto a new tune. Easy, no?
