Windy Dreams and Sparkling Streams

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".
Music Copyright Steve Trowbridge May 2012.
