(A third guitar, also tuned to F Wahine, is occasionally added and played in the key of C while capoed to the 2nd fret to sound in the key of D. ) The song reflects both my love for my wife and a musician’s heightened sensitivity to sounds. My wife, Moana, has a small collection of Hawaiian music boxes. As she gets ready for work, she enjoys lifting the lids of the little koa boxes and hearing the music waft through the house. One day I sat down and imagined what a little slack key music box would sound like if it were sitting on the dresser in her room. After you have finished this piece, go on to Winter Tide.
