Hey Ark,
Reminds me of morning for some reason. Like Im waking up, having a cup of coffe and telling myself its gonna be a good day. I really liked the arppegios your doing. Great guitar playing for being "rusty".

Re: Ripples..Just Drift Away..

Agree about the arpeggios. Your photo and title kind of made me think of water too. There's a castle in Antrim called Shane's Castle. It sits looking over Lough Neagh.

What came to mind was the many tales of ghosts walking the tunnels that connect the buildings and lead up to the terrace over the lough.

I don't mean the Banshee of course ! See http://www.antrim.gov.uk/index.cfm?webs … ge_Key=479
