So here is a piece which I first wrote and recorded around 20 years ago in the early 90's.  For a long time it had no title, just known as "bounces along keys".  Lately I've been toying with the idea of rerecording it.  Then a couple of weeks ago I was watching James May's Man Lab (a fine show).  He had an article which featured an old Great Western Railway steam train.  I thought to myslef "God's Wonderful Railway", that would make a good title for a song - hang on a minute, it would make a good title for this song. 

This is a newly recorded version, all sounds from my Boss DR-5.  Add a few suitable sound clips from my chums on Freesound.org and we're good to go.

It's got a cool Motown-ish vibe that I really like - wasn't really expecting that, but it works perfectly with the theme. Driving piano chords, and the percussion really adds the right amount of chug.
