to reflect my sadness at England football team's narrow defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final held in July 2021!!
I have renamed it "Bluesy" to give it a less whacky title and to make it globally more appealing. It's exactly the same music with just a different title .....

Fresh ideas in flute music
It's all about the Blues....
Did you know? The name of this great American music probably originated with the 17th-century English expression “the blue devils,” for the intense visual hallucinations that can accompany severe alcohol withdrawal!!
Shortened over time to “the blues,” it came to mean a state of agitation or depression.

Unsurprisingly, it's known as the "12-bar-blues"...
