The Sunday Song: Tarboy
This is another piano improvisation from a few weeks ago.
It has nothing to do with the animated film, which I have never seen nor heard of until just now. The title actually came from an evocative word in the fantasy novel The Red Wolf Conspiracy (which I quite enjoyed, by the way).
‘Tarboy’? Don’t get me wrong it’s a wonderful little toe-tapping tune, but isn’t that title just a wee bit racist?
In the book it refers to the sailor boys who tar the ropes on an oldschool sailing ship.
