Music: Jim West to debut 9/11 inspired song on website.

Weird Al Yankovic's guitar player Jim Kimo West posted the following My Space Bulletin.

As you know, the fifth anniversary of 9/11 is coming up soon. I have decided to post a very special piece of music on my site on Monday, September 11th
, not only in remembrance of and compassion for the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy and their families, but for all of us who were so profoundly
changed that day.

As I watched the events unfold on television that day, I played my guitar for comfort and
eventually this music revealed itself to me. I recorded it a couple days later and added some orchestration.

It is a highly personal piece, played in my "mahoe" tuning and this is the first time it will be shared with the public. I think you will find it moving
and true to the sentiment of the moment.

With aloha,
Kimo
