Had to do something quickly this week... luckily, we have that dulcister instrument from FolkFriends in Hamburg. It's pentatonic, you can't go wrong. My wife and kids call it "chicken music" when I play that thing. Let's just say it lends itself to cheerful country-ish tunes. So I'm taking a break from serious lute music and hanging out with the chickens this week (I should say we do have backyard chickens). Yee haw!
PS fretless Uke bass also played

Haha It's true the harmonies tend to a cheerful country feeling smile Glad to hear the bass back

I think it's a nice piece, though I don't know what the chickens would think of it.

Hope we could cook some electronic collab finally smile

it has a relaxing country-cabin-in-the-woods-ness to it, a bit like the windham hill records catalog from the 80s. playful, bucolic.

I can practically hear a field recording of a horse in a stable.  This is great!  Very playful and happy.
