I spent some time in Asia over the winter 2008/9 and whilst in Hanoi I bought a sweet little guitar made in Vietnam of local materials.. I spent several hours in a music shop over two days playing various guitars and basically annoying the owners .. not that they showed it, they just wanted a sale and then for me to go.. just by insisting that I tried out all that they had.. I was just about to buy one that seemed ok when I saw a guitar tucked away in a glass case.. as soon as I picked it up I knew it was the one.. I think it called me.. I spent many hours playing it in the quieter moments of the journey.. I gave me many tunes, three of which I offer here.
This tune came as thoughts of back home in the mayhem of Friday night down town Halifax UK whilst I was floating in a sea of colour, sounds and sights of Vietnam.
