Hillside

Sometimes an event and a new tuning combine to inspire a tune, like in Hillside. It&#39s a tribute to my mother&#39s neighbor, Mrs. Fields, who passed away in her late nineties. Growing up with good neighbors is a blessing, isn&#39t it. Hillside is the final resting place for some of my family members and now for dear Mrs. Fields. The new tuning for me is f#DGAD, which I found in an Art Rosenbaum resource book. It&#39s a &#34D variant&#34 and he calls it &#34Little Black Train&#34 tuning. This recording is my first effort using three tracks with Garage Band using my Mac Traynham Whyte Laydie and Gold Tone cello banjo.
