A mix of grit, swagger and persistence help us to make it through in the big city. Shirley Thompson's Urban Livinggives us all this plus, perhaps, a tinge of fear and some pheonmenal piano sounds in 7 minutes of [mainly] self-assured city beats. The only performance of the music I can find is here, on Soundcloud, played by the Shirley Thompson Ensemble. Listening time 12 mins (podcast 5', music 7')   What do you think? Let me know with an easy voicemail or comment at Cacophonyonline.com, Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks for listening!
