Home and Dry
Home and Dry by Heather Enid Wells | Buy Instrumental Beat
Fingerpicking guitar instrumental. This is all one guitar with no double-tracking.
Yet another songwriter-guitarist-singer. In that order. Though I earn my living mostly playing bass.
I play bass with various bands in many genres, and also perform at mainly acoustic-style venues as a solo songwriter-guitarist-singer (in that order)

Story behind the song
I had to remortgage my house to raise money to help my friends, but things went wrong and I came within a whisker of losing my home.
So when the future looked very bleak, I used to go into the Acoustic Room at my local music shop and sit and play out my troubles. This tune is one that just sort of happened there, and just seemed to fall under my fingers. It's a fairly standard chord sequence over a fairly obvious bassline, and I just improvised the melody line to create the counterpoint. I called it "Remortgage Blues".
Now I have a new mortgage with plenty of time to raise the money, and my home is saved, I am so happy :)
So when I re-recorded the tune for my album "Sleeping Dogs Never Lie", I changed the title from "Remortgage Blues" to "Home and Dry". This is the final version as on the album, but I decided also to leave the earlier version on SoundClick under its original title.
