New Song Demo "Open C" On Three String Cigar Box Guitar

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and while half asleep I heard someone on the radio say "Setting sail for open sea"
I thought of the "open sea" as "open C" and this song idea was started : -)

thanks Digly...I'm actually tuned to open G for the song, but do uses open C sometimes. Yeah it's cold for building atm (snowing here atm). Good luck with the uke : -)

Wow, that Open C sounds very interesting.  I've tried other tunings but always with the strings the same in relation to each other (EBE, DAD etc).  Is that tuned differently ?

Great music, as always, and a nice refreshing change on a very grey Shropshire Sunday.  I would go and start the next uke but it's too cold in the garage !

Happy good!  Nice beat and fun lyrics.  We all need shelter some times!    And a lot of songs

Love the tune, Be and the origin for the idea and the opening lines! We always have to stay open to the sources of inspiration around us.
