about

I drew inspiration for this composition from a colorful pool of sources: the late great Oklahoma songwriter Bob Childers, the great Spanish guitar traditions, and the kamal'ngoni, a West African hunter's harp. The song's groovy middle section is based on the masterful playing of my friend and collaborator, Malian kamal'ngoni player Mamadou Sidibe, and features a guitar exploration of the funky cross-rhythms typical of his instrument and playing.
