Don’t Touch My Axe
I also found a concept tune in my archives yesterday.

A blend of Spanish and Celtic, perhaps? I wrote this tune three years ago, in 2005. I have since forgotten how to play this melody exactly as recorded. That's one of the reasons I don't like recording. Once I lay down a track, I tend to not look back. I move on.
While that might help with my development as an artist, I would love to remember my own music.
I forced myself to recall the fingerings and the specific energy (read: emotions) I need to play this tune though. Yes, for me, being a musician is much like being an actor. Sometimes you have to "find your character." My reproduction, however, differs from the version on record. I guess that's why I originally labelled this recording a concept track. Enjoy!
