Roy and Ed's Dance Music??

For the final scene in Chapter 14 I had to find a piece of music that would suit the mood just right. Granted, this was roughly in the late teens, early 1920's in Amestris---Jazz at that time was a bit more syncopated. I decided to take the liberty and use something from a later era--"Moonlight Serenade"

My parents were both jazz and swing lovers--my mom's favorites were Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. "Moonlight Serenade" is one of Miller's most famous songs--a slow, dreamy instrumental perfect for a slow dance.

For the curious--here it is...and imagine a dark juke joint lit up only by the glow of a vintage jukebox....

I'm a blues/jazz/rock vocalist who does a lot of comedy material--I've written a lot of anime-inspired material including about 25 or so FMA songs and an FMA comic mini opera that is on YouTube about Roy Mustang. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDycbie9HeU) I've also done some serious FMA songs, the most recent is the Brothers Suite: Edward ('The Hero With A Thousand Faces") and Alphonse ("The Soul Within The Steel") plus Hohenheim's song, "Sins of the Father". Ed's song has already migrated to Canada after I performed it in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago at a con.
I've also done music for Death Note, Bleach, Saiyuki, Black Butler and quite a few other shows. Music is my drug of choice!

We were going to do it again this year with a new show--of course doing Miniskirt again--but my brother's brain surgery was originally scheduled around that time so we opted out this year...which gives me time to write some Hetalia songs...!
