WOW.
Right, Bach music works great on any instrument...This may be true, but you are very humble!
I have Db as your key, is that right? I can’t even figure out how you play the home chord. Third fret on strings 5-7-9 with open 11th?
I’ll stop there, because your music is for enjoying, not analyzing. Thank you for posting it all here.

And the Summertime followup is fantastic too.

That's really amazing, Bill! I've always loved that melody and to hear it played so well on my favorite instrument is fantastic.

If I even dreamed I was playing like that, I'd probably wake up in a cold sweat!

Unreal, Bill. In my next life, I'd like to learn this tuning.
