I heard it at a jam a couple years ago and I've been looking for it since. can anyone help? It sounds like it might be modern, though I don't know.

thanks

I think I can help you with this, Falcarius, but what form do you need? ABC notation, a GIF? I can't do a MIDI file but any of the other two I can do.

I'll dig out the tune in the meantime.

Regards,
Radriano
