what talented fingers you have, kurt :) ... this is some beauty, mate! enjoyed the listen - thanks for coming over to my cloud ..gave the chance to hear your music! will follow and fav this ..! :)

that prominent but brief, low-tuned root note right at 2:58... golden

Only a single instrument, yet it keeps fooling me by having this full sound to it! Excellent.

Such a full sound...great recording and playing...praise be for John Fahey and the creativity he triggers. Thanks

This may be the easiest thing you've recorded here (heck, even I can play it) but it is so elegant and beautiful. I heard it first in Seatlle, and the song always makes me think of the place!

I'm Never Going Home

Song 2 of the Willow Trilogy - "Withywindle River" is based on John Fahey's "Sunflower River Blues." It's similar rhythmically, but the harmony, melody, and overall vibe are quite different, so I figured it deserved a new title. 

Open D tuning: D-A-D-F#-A-D
