6-Stance pour une chasse d’eau

You can tune your guitar in a different way

and each time it's a new musical landscape

That's what I have done for this piece

I remember I was thinking of a troubadour

but I really don't know why I have choosen this title

( stance for a medieval flush)

The first time I heard the american guitarist

Leo Kottke play the 12 string guitar

Therefore I bought myself a 12 string guitar.

A modest tribute to this great guitar player

a friend's mariage and I had no gift.....
