    Originally in Gow’s collection but perhaps not written by him, I plucked this from the Paul Hardy Basic Tunebook.

    Very well played version, Simon. Lovely idea for the video too!

    Thanks John, it’s nice to see the countryside rejuvenating after this last winter we’ve had.

    This looks like the sunny side of Blair Witch Project at first but there is no monster scarecrow popping up

    Bertram - I look forward to your funny comments- they are really spot on every time. Simon does a great job with this and I like the imaginative video. Btw - it's snowing here right now.

    Beside the title I had the imagination of Simon slowly going through the meadows playing his octave. Only I missed the sound of his steps.
    Great playing nevertheless, Simon.

    This Scottish dance tune was publised by Neil Gow, and may have been written by him. My mandocello rendition (doubled an octave higher on mandolin on the repeats) is based on Paul Hardy's transcription:
