Thanks for listening, @dusty! It is a really fun tune to play, one of those in which you can get in a groove and stay with for a bit.

Such subtle and precise noter technique!

@davisjames Hey, Jamie, this may be in a different tuning than the one I took down. (This one is D drones with an A melody. Another version we played was all B drones with a wound bass.) I think I prefer this tuning. Thanks so much for listening-- we're glad you were glad to hear it again!

It's back!I was disappointed a few days ago when this melody was missing from the audio section.Glad to hear it again albeit slightly different.

Thank you, @anne-bowman! I'm lucky to have a Jean Ritchie model diatonic from Blue Lion and it's really fun to play.
