Track 10 is clearly not an improv, definitely sounds like a composed song; my guess at title based on Skerik's rap.
* = dedicated to "Weize" Aiello (Bellar) who was in the room and who was escorted down the aisle by Skerik while he played "A Love Supreme" with Kirk Joseph at her (and Greg's) wedding

There is a little tiny bit of chatty crowd, mostly only audible on track 14
