JF in 1983: It’s kind of an abstract melody line. Yet you feel like there is a melody. It really is an implied melody. GW: One of John’s truly classic compositions in open G major tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D). This song again has his signature rapid picking roll. It is beautiful and impressionistic, yet slightly bluesy and dissonant. Title is Fahey’s play on the Hank Snow hit The Sunny Side of the Mountain. View wiki
