about
I borrowed a friend's strumstick for this. A strumstick is like a dulcimer, but a more basic, lower price-point version. It was hand made in the Appalachian region of Ohio. This song was written on it and adopted a blue grass and almost celtic sound to it. This song also features my newly bought harmonium; an Indian reed organ. I rarely record instrumentals and this seemed like a great way to start the album.
