Subject: The Devil and Billy Markham
I'd read Shel Silverstein's "The Devil and Billy Markham" many years ago and although I've never seen it, I knew it had been made into a play. Last Saturday night, I heard it put to music and played on the mountain dulcimer if you can belive it. Quite a piece, and probably one you would want to do for most general audiences. Does anyone have a source for the music to this? It was a fairly simple melody in a minor key.
