The "Wind It Up" Story:  I wrote Wind It Up as a fun piece to break up the gig. It started as a simple melody and grew into a complex Dixieland-style chart. You will notice that I had written into the song many "soli-like" passages featuring every one of the instruments. I am so excited to share the song with you and your group.  Ron
