This one is really nice. I keep thinking I've heard this somewhere before. Do you know much about where it comes from? I downloaded this one and plan to learn it. Nice job.

Hi Steve, Russel, Bob, glad y'all like it. It seems to be a blend and/or morph or thievery, eminent public domain or something....the A part is KINDA like missisippi sawyer....the B part is KINDA like the B part of 'black eye suzy' from the Freighthopper's 'Going Down The Track With A Chicken On My Back' cassette (which tune isn't much like the usual 'black eyed susie')...but neither the A or B part is really identical to either of those 2 models... so maybe that's how 'new' fiddle tunes happen?...variant leads to variant, misheard-or-misremembered tune-attempt leads to yet another mutant/mongrel/kindred form? there was certainly no intent on my part to 'write' a fiddle tune...the recording happened after having two separate dreams in one night wherein I was playing that tune on banjo, so (DUH) I woke up and recorded it on banjo, then added the other instruments...the title: a great horned owl was sitting on a branch near my window that morning, hooting while I played, then later I saw a redtail fox in a nearby field. the whole thing is just the result of mindless fortuituous ineptitude and local critters :) if you learn to play it, great!...mess it up even more, make the tune all the more of a stew of unknown-origin'd ingredients... add to the title: yer version can be called 'great horned owl, red-tailed fox & a sycamore tree plus five imaginary pixies'......or something like that! :)

Yup - after 5 or 6 years playing'em a lot of D-tunes to tend to run together....

I agree that not much energy should be spent in resisting it.

Nice fiddling.
