Processional

Ackerman wrote it in 1973 and recorded it in 1975 at Mantra Studios as solo guitar, with Scott Saxon engineering. The liner notes dedicate it to Steve Harvey, a theater figure known for promoting elaborate facial hair, and time it at 3:40; Wikipedia gives 3:43, Amazon 3:42 and a Bandcamp reissue 3:52. In 1997 he said it stood out as having its own voice, and that he still performs it live. He played it as "Procession" with Jill Haley on oboe and English horn on an Echoes set recorded in fall 2005 for a Thanksgiving show, where it was the final piece.
