Night Work

I love trying to learn old time songs, trying to get them "right" (i.e. recognizable), but I also highly respect those who use the elements of old time music to create something more abstract, more evocative. An earlier post, Warm February Night, is an attempt to do just that. Having played and recorded WFN, I remembered that a few months ago I tried to play a certain ballad in a tuning that the song wasn't written in, and came up with something that I found interesting. So, here it is. I'm calling it Night Work II. There is a Night Work I and also a Night Work III. The recording quality is a little rough (a few pops here and there when I hit the high notes) but I think it sounds pretty interesting after all.
