Story behind the song
I am a psychiatrist and have been playing guitar for some 40 years. To me, this song is silence set to music. I played it for my mother when my father died and it did create some peace in the grief. The arrangement is a modified (by me) version of the duet from Keola Beamer and Mark Nelson's book "Learn to Play Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar" (uploaded with permission from the authors).
