Chris Maher Francesca's Ghost Music
by Chris Maher

No, this is not a song about an ex. I was visiting an American who owns a bar in Naga City, Philippines. A few days later a typhoon came through and damaged his house where i was staying. I elected to stay at his bar and watch over things while the electricity was out. One of his employees mentioned that the bar was haunted by a woman in a red dress named Francesca. I never saw anything, twice I was awoken by unintelligible whispers right in my ear. Not sure if I believe in ghost, just my mind playing tricks on me I think, but i still had a hard time sleeping there by myself. Haha, go figure.I stayed there by myself for 2 weeks until the electric came back on. I made use of the time writing this song. Anyway I wrote this song while the remnants of the typhoon raddled the building. Kind of a ode to the memory of Francesca's Ghost. Hope you enjoy.

I've had people tell me I should play professional, but that doesn't really appeal to me. I know this however, traveling with a guitar has introduced me to so many amazing people and I will follow this path as long as I am able.
