I think I wrote enough that I can play it consistently this way, but I like this piece as a jam framework. Tuned to DADFAD.

First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)

I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.

...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.

So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC

Who says everything in DADGAD has to sound happy and Celtic?

For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.

This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.

Dream Song - Was I dreaming in my bed Visions of the past Rollin' through my head Or was I driving in my car Rain fallin' down I couldn't see very far Strange animals in shadows by the road I knew a secret But I forget everything I'm told…

Heaven Comes - Sometimes you have everything Sometimes you have none Sometimes you are separate Sometimes you are one In the midst of all your suffering Sometimes Heaven Comes Here's something for those bitter times Here's something…

Toward You - With each new day I'll seek a way To get as close as I may Toward you It's my destiny to set you free Until then I can only see Toward you Throughout the night under the light Of the moon I drive Toward you Through rain and snow…
