"Done" a Hook original on my new Merlin (w/video)

[Hook]

As most of you know I've been dealing with my mid-life crisis  & depression  lately with buying way too much gear. I couldn't help myself when I saw this hanging up at Guitar Center. It's a Merlin (I think Pine has one) made by Seagull. It's like a dulicmer/guitar...very cool.
Sadly my mom's been in the Hospital since Sunday. Things were looking pretty bad but have gotten somewhat better as of yesterday. However, I wrote (improvised) this tune on Tues. in my car after a very sad day at the hospital.

I know the feeling Brother. Mine has lasted for a while now.

The Merlin looks great and sound nice. I don't know the tuning of these, but it looks fairly easy from your vid.
Great improvised tune, Hope your Mom is doing well.

Hope your mom's feeling better, Hook. Fantastic playing, and a really well-done video.

I have a Merlin (a maple one, like yours), but it doesn't often get that kind of workout.

Excellent playing my friend,I hope things all work out for you,Across the globe ,country to country in our little life's I guess we are all battling some or have been through some form of crisis that has drained us.
Mentally and physically ,and it's hard,I'm always banging on about positivity but I know it's hard to let it in some times.
Your music is a great way of getting those feelings out and across to other people.
Sharing thoughts and talking to people are great healers and I suppose music is a form of that to us writers.
All I can do is send you positive vibes brother and hope things get better for you,your a star,keep shining.

Hope things turn a corner for you, my friend. I find it uncanny how you can pick up anything and make music immediately with it. Nice post.
