This doesn't need deleting Doug, it needs attention. I think it has the potential to be a wondrous piece of music and to encourage you it gets a fave from me too. I love the lilting sound,
it's quite melancholy.

to me, this is a profoundly beautiful tuning...esp the way you play it. Whirling and free..full of spirit. It can translate many emotions we as people may have. For me...something about it takes me back to a far away land where some of my ancestors are from. Ireland...Britian... I have many types of genetics in me..I added them last night. lol just kidding ofcourse. Thanks for sharing.
I can guess what chords you are playing..can you tell us....as the tuning is different. I picked this info up on a web page...
The drone of bagpipes. The claw hammer sound of a banjo. The stark and haunting sound of a country fiddle. All these effects are possible on the guitar using DADGAD tuning pronounced exactly as it's spelled out.

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.
There was a director who was so happy to show off his lead singer to the playwrite... she was young and beautiful and a talented singer... when he finally got to present her to the playwrite... the playwrite nodded, and smiled.. he told the director…

Gorgeous celtic lilt here, conjours up all sorts of imagery.
This is spooky cool. I love it. Don't delete.

Oh, that's really pretty Doug.
I agree with Sister Savage 100%...do not delete. I find it odd how sometimes; a song I think to be awful, many people end up liking.
