I wrote this one several years ago, but never recorded it, so it seemed like a good way to get a jump start on RPM2013.

Another old tune... from 2004 I think. Tuned to DADFAD.

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)

...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?

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.
