Pat and Ken, appreciate the listen and comments. Agree Ken that Janet might enjoy it, but I'll bet she can't wait to play anything right now with her shoulder recuperating from her injury.

I can listen and enjoy and wonder about the title. :)

Thanks Janet. Hope you are progressing well. I got the title using a fake word generator (wordgenerator.net/fake-word-generator.php). If nothing comes to mind for a title, I usually go to a site that shows historical happenings for a day to see if something fits the tune's mood. In this case I couldn't come up with a title I liked and the historical reference site didn't work so I stumbled across the Fake Word site and clicked on it a few times until the word Kaloolon came up and I thought it sounded interesting so I picked it. :>)

Hey Jimi, a real definition for a fake word! Does that make it a real word? Thanks for the listen and comment.
