Solo guitar instrumental. Actually more like a waltz than a polka, but this is Appalachian PA w lots of German and Pennsylvania Deutsch, so it fits better. Played on my 1930 National Style 1.

Story behind the song
Needed some soothing and this tumbled out of the guitar. Polished it for a month or so and hit record. First take.

Love the old time feel here and that bass line you weave into this musical tapestry. The changes are beautiful and some of the chords just a delight to the ears. The tone of the National is so unique. Fine post Geo.
