(b) A Lament For Trees Track

This performance was in Reno Nevada, October 2008 during my Solo Tour of America; two months on the road traveling by bus and train. I began in Brooklyn and traveled across the country to the west coast and back, taking out time to do a festival in Mexico City.

The diddley-bow is a one string instrument I play with sticks and a bow. This one uses a D string from an upright bass tuned to a concert C below the bass staff.

"A Lament for Trees" is a sad song in memory of how we humans have scarred the Earth.
