This is an original song of mine I have been tweaking. It was inspired by the imagery from the 1920's classic by Blind Lemon Jefferson, "See that My Grave is Kept Clean". Tuned to DF#Ad.

Thank you very much Joe :)

Thanks much Richard! I have used these same boxes on other builds and this one turned out with decent tone and more volume than the others for some reason. Hopefully it works out as well when I make another :)

Nice composition Derek. Well done.

I love the tone, almost harp like, of your guitar. Beautifully played and sung Derek! Storytelling at its best. I like that tuning too!

Thank you for your always kind comments Nancy! Great picture with the type of light I can easily envision for this song :)

Thank you Dave. Had been practicing this on the banjo but it is easier to play on a cbg for me.
