This is a favorite tune of mine, which I taught to Mike and Nick. Some play in major. We play it in minor, for more “spooky” hen adventures. We’ll leave it up to your imagination. This was recorded last year at the Hosmer Library, where we were fortunate enough to play again this year.

The recording is courtesy of Dan Rein and friend. (Thanks!)
