Stuck In Standby - Darrin Kobetich ©2011

I wrote this song in Denver International Airport, 2 years ago. I had my Martin Backpacker, luckily. My wife had gotten me a standby ticket. I was stuck there for two days before I could get on a flight home. I don't like flying and I especially don't like standby (being my first experience with it). But, I had something to do which helped me make a shitty situation into a pleasant one.
This is a flat picking style piece composed in the style of a fiddle tune. A lot of the old time pickers used to translate fiddle tunes to the guitar. I decided to do it back asswards for fun and exploratory purpose.
