Instrumental on a 1928 Weissenborn, tuned to open D. This is my take on Ry Cooder's theme for the movie 'Paris, Texas'.

Story behind the song
Ry took his inspiration from Blind Willie Johnson's song 'Dark was the night (cold was the ground)'. Both were a tremendous inspiration to me. I think it comes thru in the song.

Thought i had left a comment on this. Wonderful work on this Geo...fine playing and a tone that is like nothing else on Earth. You certainly created an incredible soundtrack/soundscape here. I think you could make a one string uke sound good...
