"A Path of Rigmarole' was created in three countries and five cities. This is not to dispute that it was not written in about half an hour (as the great song writers of great songs will tell you)
PAth of Rig has only been recorded twice - in London, Ontario, Canada around May of 1993 Chiba Prefecture Japan from August to October in 2017.
It was started in Oakville, Ontario on April 25, & May 25, and was Revised in North Carolina on December 31, 1984.
In Vancouver, British Columbia the music & chords were put to "Path of Rigmarole" on October 10, 1988 and March 8 & 18, 1989.

Path of Rigmarole by Patrick Thomas Connolly
I saw you way up in the clouds
Say that you will allow me taped up
I am reaching for the key sound
climbing (aspiring) for your misty ground
extending bending shaping sound
Sometime it's so cold and bare
Then you turn around and it's hot
Spread melody out into cords of emotion
that hold in air.
And listen it's all over.
Repeat and retreat over your hills of clouds
you can hear it now, your shadow o'er me
'I'll cover and treat.
Crackling energized tracks are extending
passing out and passing in, Not ending
the turning, tuning never sending
And I, not of earth but sky divided into a birth
space peering over edges that burst and fly seeds spinning,
expanding, stretching
expanding, stretching.
