THE DEERING TRUETONE ON THE MAPLE BLOSSOM

this is the presto tailpiece on my Maple Blossom

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 12/21/18, this 1800's hymn from William Walker's Southern Harmony book (first published in 1835) has beautiful lyrics that makes it perfect for Christmas. I tuned down the 5th string to an "e" note and played Star of the East in Am.

For the past several years I've been posting a new composition around the holidays. I liked the sound of this one using a mute, and added a guitar backup. So, for all my Hangout friends and the rest of the Hangout crowd, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever you might celebrate. And whether you mark the season or not, I wish you peace. In Double C (gCGCD).
