Always love the subtlety of the nylon strings. Nicely done David...

so sad and so heartbreaking...and you play so beautifully for Yareli and Yasmina...so touching David. You play so very beautiful for them.

@user-138663860: Thank you Sandy for listening with your heart open wide on this track. Mine was broken when I wrote it, but also relieved that they were rescued so quickly. I was not smiling on this one, but openly weeping when I saw the story. I can only imagine how you must have felt at the death of the of the 14-year old girl:(

beautiful piece David coming from such a sad story, i think a great artist can always convey a feeling from even the most wretched circumstances, and you’ve managed that here, great playing

@user-677077344-881441667: Thank you Dave. An honor to have you listen to this one in particular.

We have our problems with refugees in Britain, so this is a very relevant song. Lovely song.

This track is about Yareli and Yasmina, two Ecuadorian refugees ages three and five that were dropped over the US/Mexico border wall by smugglers late last March miles from nowhere.  Thankfully this was all seen by Border Patrol cameras and they were quickly rescued uninjured and in good spirits--no small miracle.  This is when the immigration issue became very personal to me and the need for our national leadership to solve a very real crisis instead of using it as an issue to bludgeon the other political party.   
The track is in four parts;
1--Dropped Over the Wall
2--Abandoned and Bewildered
3--The Rescue
4--Epilogue; Please Find An Answer

Abandoned At The Border

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
