    Bon voyage, Tommy, you can't beat a bit of Wildwood Flower. This was one of the first tunes I ever learned, from Jack Tottle's book. Now I had to play it again:

    If you are going to pick a first tune to work on, Wildwood Flower is a good'un.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff
    funny....

    Very nice for the first one. You will find there is so much fun in this stupid instrument that you will be challenged and frustrated for years to come. Have fun.
