    Default "Persian"folk tune "The Cricket"

    Hello mando folks. I am looking for a score that I purchased in the early 2000's. I can't remember the composer's name but i'm sure the piece was called 'The cricket '
    I'm pretty sure that I originally came across it via Mandolin cafe. It was an pleasurable tune to play and I'd like to get it under my fingers again.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Good on you
    Peter

    That’s such a cool rhythmic call/response song, thanks!

    Hmmmm, so it looks like the famous, kind hearted, generous DavidKOS may have the tab for it!

    Thank you all, folks. Yes, that is the piece I'm looking for Jim. Thanks for the heads up re DavidKOS Simon. I shall be reaching out for him directly.
    Good on you all
    Peter
    P.S I did find out that the music is included in Jozef Scale's book Magic Mandolin but that seems to be sold out everywhere I looked,
