Rehearsing with the Chilli Road Band yesterday I encountered a piece entitled "Hazor" - subtitled "A funky Eastern ballad." It was one of those minor key things that infiltrates your brain and entwines itself around your soul very evocatively. I pictured a harem and belly-dancing girls (I often do!)
