Again, I start with some exploration. This time I'm stacking fifths into ninths, and I walk myself down into G, and back into a blues feel. The left hand is very laid back and comfortable, while the right has a little fire.

After about five minutes, this piece suddenly changes from cool and controlled to bustling, swooping, exciting – much like how I imagine Manitoba to be.

(For the best effect, go straight from "Manitoba" to "Ontario" with no break.)
