Story behind the song
I've been playing guitar for close to five years now, slack key for the same. My reason for choosing this song for the CD is no big mystery; I sat down to record something and this was the first song that came to mind. Originally, it came to me one afternoon on the Big Island. I figure it’s OK to send out because when I play it at gigs, it usually gets a good reception.
