"Little Things" comes from "a little melody" that Roger Lewis says he'd "carried around" for more than a decade. Its delicacy and tenderness struck me and lyrics arose from remarks from Roger about his wife,
composer and pianist Mari Watanabe.
"It's beautiful. It's beautiful," Kirk Joseph said after Roger played the melody on piano at the New Orleans Musicians Union rehearsal-space
on August 2,, 2021, the day before the Rivers Answer Moons band with Herlin Riley recorded at the Marigny Street studio with Rick Nelson as our engineer. Roger added overdubs on saxophones later that August.
The track to me got more and more poignant. It expresses quieter aspect of Roger.
