Sort of an editorial comment based on an article in: Science, 209: 1492-1494 (Sept 26, 1980) entitled "Univerisity and Drug Firm Battle over Billion-Dollar Gene" to the tune of: "Guardian Beauty Contest" by Atilla the Hun from Trinidad. Sing Out, 6(#3): 3 (1956)

This is a song I wrote for my parents 50th anniversary celebration.

Hard Times Come Again No More

Possums' Tail is Bare - G

Here's a fiddle tune I composed in July of 2016. I perform it here on the stage piano, banjos and upright bass. After many attempts, I was unable to fiddle the tune up to tempo and it just doesn't sound as nice played too slowly. I used to fiddle this at tempo, no problem. It must be I'm getting old. :)

Down by the Sally Gardens

I composed this Celtic-sounding fiddle tune while camping deep in the forests of the Adirondack Mountains back in 1991. I wrote the melody out on a cardboard box so that when I got through camping I would remember the tune and be able to play it on my fiddle which was not with me on the camping trip. "Braw Birks" is Gaelic ( I think so) for "Beautiful Birches".

fun old Canadian fiddle tune
