Doubletop

I recorded this one in two late night sessions (Friday and Saturday), editing a bit on Sunday. While I'd intended to write something more assertive than this, this more reflective piece is what was available to me. By the end of the Friday session, I'd thought I might have to throw everything out and do something quickly, but when I recorded a couple other themes on Saturday night (the ones at 1:04, 2:00, and 2:45), I knew it was going to work. There's a value in just sticking with something, isn't there?
Guitar: Univox Coily hollowbody in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning. When I picked up the guitar, everything was much flatter than usual: either our very dry, very cold weather shrunk the wood a bit, or something shifted position somehow. No inline effects, just the UA volt and a couple convolution reverb sends.
The title comes from Doubletop Mountain in Maine, which has a prominence of 631 m.
