Hey all. 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.
