Topic: The Little Things
I was plucking around with this tune for the last couple of days when tonight my wife said that she had a headache and asked me to get her some headache medicine. I did without really thinking about until I sat back later with the guitar and started thinking of this song idea about all the little things we do for one another every day and how they add up. So here you go and I hope you like it.
