    Default Is this a trad tune?

    It decided that I wanted to play it, but I'm not sure if it's a trad tune I've (mis)remembered, or if it's somewhat original. I'll probably leave the demo up only a few days, as I want to do a better recording and also play it on mandolin (and probably do a medley with Gallopede).

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Sounds trad, but a new one to me, Dave. Perhaps you have just written it! Fine tune anyway.

    It's a new on to me, Dave -- and a good one.

    And I have to respect anyone who, in this day and age, doesn't say, "Here's a traditional tune I wrote," something I've heard a few times in recent years.
    Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
    "I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

    Thanks for checking it out. Fifty + listens, and no one's said it's familiar. Unfortunately, I can't edit out the link in the original post.
