Anyway he died this time last year and he wrote a tune for him cause he’d always come into the studio when he was practicing. It’s in DADGAD (but for harp guitar) coincidentally, I think you’ll like it. First few times I heard it I teared up pretty bad. If you’re familiar with Tommy Emmanuel or Stephen Bennett, the lady who recorded their major albums recorded this tune, as well as his album..here ya go:

Peter, thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed this one. Yes, the guitar has done a nice job on several of my tunes.....warm and articulate is correct.....would also add "with sparkle"......as that element seems to be working nicely too. Jeff Bamburg did an amazing build with this one.
Have enjoyed your postings on AGF.....all very nice!
Thank again,
Fred
