Sun, 26 Jun 2011 09:17:00 CST deleuran deleuran http://www.flatpickerhangout.com/myhangout/music.asp?ID=3593 I have tried for the first time to set one of my guitars up in Nashville tuning. It gives a very interesting sound pared with another guitar in regular tuning. I have recorded this song before both as sound file here, and as video on youtube, but I thought it would be a good one to try off this tuning on. The song tgoes way back to the British Isles several hundred years. Here's a little information from Wikipedia: "The Twa Sisters" is a murder ballad that recounts the tale of a girl drowned by her sister. It is first known to have appeared on a broadside in 1656 as "The Miller and the King's Daughter." At least 21 English variants exist under several names, including "Minnorie" or "Binnorie", "The Cruel Sister", "The Wind and Rain", "Dreadful Wind and Rain", "Two Sisters", and the "Bonnie Bows of London". The ballad was collected by Francis J. Child and is also listed in the Roud Folk Song Index." And apart from appearing in the folk repetoire in North America, the theme of the song is widely spread throughout northern Europe. There's at least 125 versions of it known in Sweden alone. It is also known in Denmark under the title "To Søstre". The Two Sisters. I sing that song somewhere else here among my youtube videos if you should be interested in hearing that version.

I've called it folk but maybe it should be "other". I mean, classic rock organ and Latin trumpet section with a banjo tune? OK, I may have gone overboard playing around with some new midi samples. But it's kinda humorous I think. This is one of my banjo-centric songs, but the flatpicked guitar break in the middle came out better than I hoped. I've called it folk but maybe it should be "other".
