about

North Dakota Sky Blues opens on guitar with a quiet, mellow, mysterious, almost foreboding introduction. Bass guitar and mandolin add to the stark introduction. A steady 4/4 drum beat begins and this builds into an easy tempo minor blues progression. If you listen carefully you will hear my nod to Pink Floyd’s Animals. (I recorded my neighborhood dogs barking in the distance.)

I grew up in a small town in North Dakota, before the internet, before cable television, before FM Radio. North Dakota was a place of wide open spaces, long lost days, and many hard working folks.

lyrics

Talking about my freedom - and my liberty - and my Constitutionality
