This tune started out as a waltz, then John started in with his very signature ragtimey swingy folk fingerstyle to his chords, and very quickly it changed my style to somewhat swinging & syncopated … and so another “Bohemian Nouveau” tune is born … and we have this first sketchy recording to show for it. Had to think of a title to make an upload for this video (but John thinks he wants to change the chords, so this is temporary posting).. and well, this tune is just so dang happy (yet a little bit mysterious), that I just couldn’t help but thinking of my favorite thing to do (besides play music), which is to go for hikes with my dog Emma ~ who’s greatest aspiration I think, is to be able to carry two sticks at once ! Composed February 20, 2012
