I tuned it to DADGAD and started improvising. Lizzie picked up the mandolin and started answering my improvs with some middle eastern sort of scales. And we went back and forth. I would set down a pattern and she would take off, then I would start running up the neck and she would step back and support me.
I love making music with her. It is one of the centers of my life, this music we make.
And yeah, it's likely that the 12 string will be a big part of the songs for the next CD. A lot of the bits of music I have written have been in DADGAD.
