"The lighthouse keeper" by Marty the Random Guy

Here's a song from a videozine (KAFFE.zine) from Turku in Finland. Filmed during a small park gig I did last Saturday (27th 2015) in Turku, Finland. On CBN, the Youtube video starts at 6:00 min. The full video features one more song (guitar, vocals) and an interview (in Finnish).

"The Lighthouse Keeper" is the first song I wrote on my first CBG build, which I'm playing in the video, about 7 years ago. The tune (and CBG) is still a part of my set list.
