Here is a nifty little tune, very haunting. Play it both fast and slow. It is very typical of New England dance music. There are spots, measures 7 & 13 in particular, where you can wither play across the courses or up the neck easily. For those who do not know, to play this correctly, play all back beats as a downstroke (or bow down, wherever you may be !-) That means for two triplets in a row you would: count: 1 & a 2 & a play : d u d d u d It is that down up down down up down that gives a jig that feel, ya know. Any way, here it is. Enjoy.
