I’ve known this tune for many years. “Known” it, as in I recognize it, and like it a lot. I have little hope of playing it at all, let alone like my friend Colin Botts does in this video. I sent him a fiddle version from YTube, and within two days he created this arrangement, played on mandolin, mandola, and octave mandolin. Two contrapuntal parts against the original melody.
I’ve forgotten how to embed videos into this post, so maybe someone will do me the favor. Anyway, it’s on his YT channel, which is just chocked full of brilliant performances.
