about

Performed on Knutsen jumbo 8-sub-bass harp guitar.
When I learned that my absolute hero, ‘70s guitarist Dave Evans, would be coming from Brussels to attend the 5th Harp Guitar Gathering® in 2007, I realized that I had to work out one of his tunes on harp guitar to surprise and honor him. Back in the mid-70s I had learned and played incessantly nearly all the 6-string acoustic guitar tunes on his classic Kicking Mule “Sad Pig Dance” LP, and now, over forty years later, the title track was still under my fingers. I fiddled with a few things and added subs by stretching the 1-5-1-5 Travis-picking accompaniment into an insanely wide variation across the two string banks. That became even more difficult when I further tweaked the tune for the latest Knutsen I acquired – this giant-bodied (but standard-scale) monster with a Knutsen-record eight subs. Given the extra bass strings, I had no choice but to add a bit more chromaticism – something I knew Dave would approve of!
