Winter turns to Summer...though if you'd lived in southern England over the last several weeks you'd be forgiven for thinking Winter lasts until June...!
I spend time noodling and trying different tunings, often time well spent, this pleasant little tune popped out one day and so here it is, it reminded me of ice, wind and water...and Spring!

Tuning was G+D+G+b+, with the GDG strings tuned a little higher.

Guitar - Comedy & Tragedy / Flatpup 4
Amp - Orange Dual Terror / Marshall 4x10 Cab.
Audacity / Boss SE-70 / Shure SM58

To be included on forthcoming album "Playin' Out of the Box - The Slowpaw Old-Time Traveling Medicine Show".

Hi Steve.

Very nice tune. Love the feel of it. The video is very good too. You really seem to be spreading your creative wings these days. Nice work.

Listen to the mp3 of this on 'Nation homepage.  Tuning reminds me of Gary Lucas in a way, he's been an influence on me,  if you haven't heard him check him out ! (-:

I love this Slowpaw, all that's missing is a little 'canjo-drumming vibe'!!!

Seriously great piece.

Well the bad weather goblin seems to be taking a break this weekend - hope Summer's here at last...! Our weather scientists actually ran mid-air flight tests to find out why our skies have been so rainy this year...cloud busting!

Many thanks for your great comments, loved doing this, i think a funny song will do for next week (0:
