Flowers Of Ayaco

A great Franco Morone composition. This piece uses an EADEAE tuning.

My new acoustic album "Sunrise " is now available on ITunes, at Amazon MP3 and Napster. Please see www.lescheetham.com for more details.

is this DADGAD?

[lesjcheetham]

No, This tuning does have a similar tonality, though. It's E A D E A E.

Les is a great guitarist and plays flawlessly. This song is an enigma to me though. An Italian guitarist (Franco Morone) writes a Celtic tune and gives it a title with a Japanese name (Ayako). The story of Ayako is very intriguing in itself. I wonder if it had anything to do with the writing of this beautiful song.

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.

Franco Morone explains the title in the insert of his "Melodies of Memories" CD.

Apparently he first performed the tune at a venue near to the Memorial Park in Ayaco, Japan, which is very close to Hiroshima.

He named it after the yellow flowers that were presented to him before the concert.

Wow. Gorgeous stuff as always, Les. When is the Les Cheetham solo album coming out? Put me at the top of the list for several copies;)

Thanks for the comment! I'm sure that in the near future I'll release something - but it will be an ITunes type download. A friend had 500 CDs pressed, the sold a few, gave some away...and made a coffee table out of the rest!!

This is what I'm talking about!!! You play this song slow with passion. Marone hard plucks through it as if he's practicing, and I don't "smell" the flowers. I was hoping to find a version that was more heart felt than Franco Morone's rendition of his OWN composition. Your version is what I pictured in my mind when I first heard Morone do this. Thank you, great job!!!
