Here’s another new tune. Feedback welcome, as always.

With melodic lines that routinely go over the bar line, your compositions are one surprise after another. I love surprises. I always have to listen at least twice so my brain can categorize what I'm listening to, though your music defies categorization. I love that too.

Thanks Laurence, I like surprises too, at least musical ones!

By the way, I’ve been enjoying your video of Pretty Little Indian. Lovely slides and bends.

Thanks very much, Andy. I owe some of the credit for this one to Gautier d'Espinal, a medieval trouvere. The first parts of the tune are based loosely on his song, “Se par force de merci”.

This tune challenges the ordinary structures of typical banjo tunes. It challenges me to expand my cognitive neural pathways, during numerous listenings, as I try to understand what's going on. Your musical creativity is inspiring. Thank you for posting your music here.

I gave this tune a week's rest. Now, my comprehension is clearer, and my appreciation remains as high for your fine art.

Very nice! You sound like you’ve listened or played renaissance music on guitar.

Thanks Paul, and thanks Chas, a nice thought. I’ve never played renaissance guitar, but I’ve certainly always enjoyed music from the period, as well as earlier.
