Thread Name: Origins: Looking for Identity of this tune
Subject: RE: Origins: Looking for Identity of this tune
I seem to recall one of our members has a program that will do strange things like playing tunes backward and upside down. Something like "Harmedly?" or somethin'. Guess I should look it up again, since I never gave it much of a tryout.

Inspired by the thread, I did a quicky Google on the tune, and find that it's apparently written by Frank Mills, ca. 1974, as noted in Warsaw Ed's MIDI above. Mills seems maybe(?) to be a "living artist," and there are scores available in a couple of his books. His stuff seems to be mostly published as "easy piano pieces," (One of which is named "Music Box Dancer") so I'll hold onto the good intention of looking for it on my next trip to the fancy music shop that might have such stuff. I'm curious about how much the "bluegrass" version my jam group plays has been mangled from the "original."
