Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'Kempe's Jig'
Many thanks, all; I knew I could count on ye! {;^{D~

That's not only a catchy little tune, but it's quite do-able on the tin whistle!

There is an interesting - if not a bit bizzare - story behind all this recent interest in old Will, but I'll let my dear Friend share the tale if she wants to.

Tom - been thinkin' on ye & the BG; even dig out me concertina and give it a squeeze from time to time. Wish I could git t'gither wi' ye more often so's ye could show me hows tae do it right!
(it's fun anyway!)

Domestic Management was taking some vacation time last week, and Portsmouth was out of the question - couple of small dogs don't really mix with that sort of thing, and we don't want to leave 'em in the RV for any length of time. Besides, parking a 27' motor home in that town seems like a daunting challenge!

We went camping & touring around my old stomping grounds in the NH Mts. instead.

Do you remember Old Folkie Ken Vinyard, God rest his soul?
I used to go up to his place up in Crystal (North of Milan) for those wonderful jam sessions back in the '60s.
My what times we had...

I've been a Folk Fan ever since!
