Hi Len. "Big Fat Woman With The Meat Shakin' on her Bones", also "John Hardy". Huddy called it a "Windjammer" and played "cross-harp" style. eg. in G on a C instrument. Like his piano and guitar playing he sounded like no one else on the planet. Smithsonian Folkways have it all. Oops "Meat Shakin..." was on piano, but there were a few others on melodian that I forget the titles to. Happy New Year from Heather and I.
