Up early and spent a few hours working on the new CBQ track, "No Last Tilt" - now incorporating as little as possible of the original track...

Also mixed together a version which could indeed be a Spark track...

Good work...

We feed the flowers, across the years
Hard to recall, the crocodile tears
The empty table, the water spilt
The game is gone, there's no last tilt
But life goes on, as it always must
Conclusion drawn, it's dust to dust
