I need to check this more often. Somebody moved all the furniture. But it looks nice Max. To answer Margarita's earlier question, the Auld Orange Flute has a melody very like Sweet Betsy from Pike without the Tureli Ureli Ureli-Aye. And I do play Mr. Wise's Orange Blossom Special on occasion. But not when it's supposed to be around 1830 or so. In the '80s I used to sit in with a group called Sashay that would play at the Bucksnort Saloon. (another story) They would pretty much sing the words that Johnny Cash recorded. It's a fun tune but it's like when I'm joining in with a bluegrass group and someone requests Foggy Mountain Breakdown after we just played it. It comes up too often.

To keep some regard to the subject, I had a friend that played the viol de gamba. Sort of a medieval cello. When he would play my fiddle, he would play it the same way. He would set that thing on his knees holding it verticle and bow it just like a cello. I think I worded that carefully enough so that Spaw won't join in the fray.
