A couple of slow tunes. The first is a version of The Month of January, inspired by the singing of June Tabor. The second is an original composition of mine, with an attempt at harmonizing.

Hi all. I have, over the years, written several tunes in the traditional vein. Here is something I composed on my banjo. Was hoping to get some feedback on it. I tried my best to write it out using ABC notation, but I may not have some of the intricacies of the tune notated. I appreciate your intere...
