Sunrise on the Mississippi - Bruce Cockburn cover

This one is special to me, one of the first instrumental pieces I ever learned, about the time I started dating my wife.

It is played in Open C on the dobro, by one of my very favorite artists, Bruce Cockburn. This particular piece can be found on his Dart To The Heart album.

So, this one reminds me a bit of my wife - not that she has anything to do with Mississippi, but she has alot to do with the Sunrise.

Beautiful playing, I can tell you have this one in your heart.

[ayavner]

Thank you very much!!

Sounds great!! What a great song to cover! Any idea what tuning Bruce uses on Rocket Launcher!

[ayavner]

Thanks! Rocket launcher is actually in standard tuning. Search on youtube for "one-minute guitar lesson" and Bruce has one. He shows how to play it.
