Inspired by Cooder's "Houston in five seconds" from the "Paris, Texas" set. Damn phone rings in the end, but that's the way it turned out.
Acoustic slide and blues playing on the National Reso-phonic tricone guitar.
I'm really a rock guitarist, and I used to play professionally in various bands. These days, I'm into country blues, ragtime and slide playing in open tunings on my National Reso-phonic Tricone Style 1 guitar. I'm attracted to the idea of one person being able to play everything necessary for a full listening experience, the portability and ever-readiness of the one-man-band. I guess this is a very social attraction too, and hence I hope you'll enjoy the tunes I've uploaded here. Everything you hear is recorded in my home on my PC using RME hardware interface and a Rode Nt-1 condenser microphone. Voice and guitar at the same time, into the same microphone.

Story behind the song
As usual, just the sound of the resonating harmonic overtones of my tricone inspired me. It's as if the thing plays by itself sometimes, it really is. Strike one string, keep your hands off the others and listen to the torrent of overtones adding colours and magic all by themselves. I can listen to that for days, it puts me in a pleasant trance-like condition. When it's best, I'm just along for the ride while the music plays.
