What The Sun Said (John Fahey cover)

The only piece Fahey wrote for 12 string that I am aware of. This is from the John Fahey Anthology published by Hal Leonard and was a gracious gift of Gratton. Drop D tuning. Taylor 150e-->iRig HD-->iPad-->Garageband. 

America (John Fahey cover)

Not the best ever but it had energy so it was good enough for me.

Night Train To Valhalla (John Fahey cover)

You don't play this music, you launch it and hang on for dear life and see what happens. The snap at the end of the music was my neck as I turned to look at the computer.

Watermelon (Kottke cover, with the hard parts left out)

Not the very best but I enjoyed the fireworks in the background and one can hear birds chirping right outside my bedroom window. After two years of syncopation it was really difficult to play without it.

Visiting (Will Ackerman cover)

My Shepherd Shall Supply My Needs (John Fahey cover)

Drowsey Maggie

Ecce panis Angelorum

Pater noster

What child is this?

Away in a manger

O Christmas Tree

It came upon a midnight clear

Joy to The World (John Fahey cover)

Auld Land Syne (John Fahey cover)

Up on the Housetop (Fahey-style, kind of)

Silent Night

Stomping Tonight On The Pennsylvania/Alabama Border

Laboring for years in the solitude of house arrest for a crime he did not commit (existential turpitude) he honed his lack of skills to develop minimal levels of adequacy and the result was the construction of the oft-ignored Close Enough Studios. The rest is destiny.
