I did as well, Dave. Liberating on so many levels! Anyway here's another; not a Fiddlesang, rather a Zithersang - the zither in this case being a Hungarian citera; a sort of wild ancestor of Appalachian dulcimer. This is Walt Whitman's Song of Myself #32 bookended by two versions of Gently Me Johnny, recorded (& ambiently enchanced) in 2008 in tribute to The Wicker Man and other such merry May* wyrdness... http://soundcloud.com/sedayne/gently-johnny-song-32 * Yes, I know it's not May until Monday, but allow a boy to get excited; in an ideal world Beltaine would be a national holiday on a par with Xmas, in which case by now we'd be seeing all sorts of festive folkloric idents on BBC; and just imagine the cover of the Radio Times!
