Liner Notes

Gryphon Stringed Instruments over in Palo Alto (Bay Area) had my beloved Martin D-28 for 7 weeks repairing the binding that was coming off. I just got it back yesterday (1 day before FAWM) and changed the strings right away. Remarkably, it stayed in tune overnight and after noodling for a few minutes this first morning of FAWM, this is what I did... #harmonica, #firstfruits #acousticguitar #instrumental

lots to like here

Great tones! It really does make me feel like I’m walking along a dirt road in the summer heat, but I’m feeling good because I’m heading to jump in the lake for a refreshing swim. Or maybe I’m riding on a train. It could be a train song right? Love it!

Super cool all the way through. We'll just sit you in the corner of a smoky bar and let you riff on this for a night.

Gorgeous playing — I am a sucker for the squeaky slide of a string. I agree — it feels warm and comfortable.

hell yea, such a great way to start fawm w/ an easy-going blues tune! makes it feel like summer, even amidst the cold of winter 😁

A Martin D28 ..very nice. I have a D16.. i need to use that...you have inspired me. Love the gritty harp and that old school blues. SWeet!

@chill4matt 1d

So great! And then there came the harmonica... Lovely. I get the feeling that you play live (or have). BTW I like this piece without any vocals. Will have to catch up with your profile to learn more.

Thanks for the nice comment. I do play live every Friday night. I'm the lead guitar in an outlaw county band. I'm 73 and I'm the youngest guy in the group!

@chill4matt 1d

Outstanding! Keep showing those old guys how it's done. 😂 Happy FAWMing!

I love this piece!! That Martin is singin!! and the harmonica is just perfect! Feels like a "sittin on the front porch" song. Makes me wanna grab my strat and knock off some blues licks... Oh wait...I think I will!!!
