Frenchman’s Bend

Frenchman’s Bend was written and recorded with a couple other songs in 1999 that were inspired by William Faulkner’s Snopes Trilogy. I think I gave my copy to my son living in Oxford, MS. Go figure…

This is a short version, the tempo is a little faster than I finally settled on in a later take. I will post some of the other tunes in this trilogy in the future.

George the Cat, my companion in my barn office and workshop for many years graces the video. George was a remarkable guy.

Not sure which 12 string this was recorded on. I am guessing maybe the Larivee C-45 12 string, but it could have been a Taylor.
