I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later. I tried to do something with this several times during the past few months but always failed and left it for a more inspiring day, again and again....
