It is always a challenge to fingerpick in F. I thought it a good idea to compose a piece that would explore the fingerboard in this key. It uses an alternating bass throughout. There are three distinct sections. Once you have mastered this arrangement playing in the key of F will be a little less mysterious.

The instrumental also served as a good tune to play in duet with John Renbourn. We recorded it on our first album. The title "Why a Duck" comes from a Marx Brothers film. They were a big influence in my growing up.
