"Balancing"
by Will Ackerman
Windham Hill
Tuning: Open G
Transcribed by: Bruce Muckala

Listen to the recording for which sections to play.
Section I is played only once in the beginning (so
I suppose technically, it's an intro.  :) ) The title
of the tune fits the varying time signatures and
tempo changes.
