Nantucket Sleighride
In my younger days, me and my drummer would jam on Mountain’s “Theme From an Imaginary Western” ad nauseum. At least, ad nauseum to my drummer’s parents listening in some room above our basement rehearsal studio. Anyway, I was a big fan of this song, “Nantucket Sleighride,” particularly in the late-80s, but never really played it until the past year or so, and then only on my acoustic six-string.
Nice tune to play. I’m especially fond of a sliding ten-note G pentatonic run after the “silk sheets” line in the chorus.
Regularly scheduled programming to resume tomorrow.
