Uncertain of the specific genre, I guess it's folk rock. Acoustic guitars, bass, harmonica, electric guitars, keys and vocals. I dedicate this song to my Dad who passed away in 2005. I hope you enjoy the journey from beginning to the end.

Story behind the song
I hope this takes you on a journey. It's a parallelism of the birth and death of song as if it were a living thing. I started this song a few years back and the passing of my father prompted me to finish it. It was my way of dealing and healing with his passing.
Lyrics
Six Strings 1. Six strings on a neck, compressed by the touch Bidding the desire, of the players soft pluck Individually strung, collectively strummed To capture the mood, of the wooded doldrums Just strings on a neck............... Just strings on a neck............... 2. Six strings on a neck, in metronome time Mimics the sound, of wind blown chimes Dancing to the wind, in fades of disapation Putting reason to the season, with unbounded creation Just strings on a neck............ Just strings on a neck............ (harmonica solo) 3. The sweet sound, released to compete With the complexities of life, and the hum of the street Just six strings, suspended in air Finds the journey's way, so crystally clear. But onward they go, filling our souls, with melodies untold Six strings.............. Six strings.............. (guitar solo) 4. So on they go, in a tumbled role Out of control, and the answers unfold...... with questions 5. I can't say what I should be feeling Seems like Someone's surely stealing Look at Mother Nature's Laws We're held so tightly in Her claws Sometimes choices can be wrong But all songs must pass along..... in time With six strings........... With just six strings........... With just six strings........... (fade to end) Farrell Jackson (c) 08/25/04
