Story behind the song
This is a total practice piece similar to the style I like to play. I wanted to keep it very honest, no effects, no cleanup, complete with mistakes and squeaks. It is also improvised pretty much on the spot. I wanted everyone to know what my style sounds like when I play. This is a somewhat faster piece of music than a lot of slack key. I recorded it in December of 2002, and have since slightly re-arranged it. But this is the original. Tuning: CFCFAC.
