While this tune was being written a turkey flew by the window beside me, and up into a tree. They're quite a sight to see when they're flapping their wings through the air by your window. And they always seem to look peculiar in a tree. But I always really appreciate wild turkeys, and I'm glad to finally have an original tune titled for them. 

Instruments:
Kentucky mandolin, Doug Tipple low D flute, sleigh bells, tingsha bells

The Turkey In The Tree

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
