[March 1, 2014 -- Dedicated to JB: Memphis has its legendary Graceland and, for me, a legendary Gracewater as well.]

This is an acoustic blues improvisation on my Guild using a brass slide for a bit at the end. I did two different guitar takes of this lament, the second one while not directly listening to what I played the first go-round, and then sort of matched them up in two separate tracks. So, it is sloppy here and there and everywhere, yet still somehow fitting for the melancholy feel of the piece I think. I later layered in some cello, bottle flute and synth string tinkles from the Yamaha.

I hope to write lyrics for the song someday if ever I'm able to make them worthy of the inspiration for the music. In the meantime, I've added a suggestion of a melody line with some wordless singing in sections. If anyone wants to work up some lyrics of his/her own -- on any subject relating to the title I've given it -- please have at and let me take a look.
