about

Performed on Dyer harp guitar and Knutsen convertible harp steel guitar.
This tune was the very last one I was working on in Illinois in late 1978 before moving to Los Angeles in early 1979. It was always a duet, originally on 6-string and 12-string guitar (I toyed with a bottleneck on the 12-string). I never did locate my old work-in-progress recording of this tune; unbelievably, I remembered virtually every note nearly forty years later. As the original 6-string was tuned to open G with a low C in the bass, it naturally leant itself to harp guitar, though the strumming and muting became a challenge! Still lousy at bottleneck guitar forty years later, I chose a harp steel to play lap style slide, while getting an additional set of subs in the bargain. This one never had a title – until now; it serves as the wrap up to my treasured Illinois days of acoustic music experimentation and so many other memorable experiences.
