So here's a song I wrote not too long ago for the child of a close friend of mine entitled Olivia Is Here. I had intended to put something together at the time of her birth, as I had done for his son, but this one didn't see daylight until she was a good five years old. Which means she was able to give it a good listen for herself soon after it was recorded. I'm playing a 1948 Gretsch Synchromatic in an open tuning. Not much more to say other than that at the time I was listening to a lot of Merle Travis early instrumentals, so if you know that music you might detect that influence.
