Charmery from Reptile Dysfunction by Tony Castellano

I always wanted to have a song with a nice old-school rolling 6/8 feel to it. For the structure, I followed the example of the Guess Who's "No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature" where the second title is actually a miniature song entirely contained within the boundaries of the first title. The outer 'song' was written first but needed something else, and the middle section was a separate piece I had written previously, so I put them together and it worked. The title came from Joe O'Toole, guitarist of Magnetar.

Progressive-rock-influenced multi-instrumentalist and singer who has played with many different bands, including The Bud Collins Trio, Holding Pattern, Ludent Tremmel's Gno, The Realm, and Magnetar, on either bass or bass and keyboards. In recent years he has been playing mostly drums, for several different recording projects and also as a member of his sister's band, Anne Castellano & The Smoke.
