That's a good one also.

Not exactly irtrad, but for those of us who go back that far, there's also some good stuff in the early Ian & Sylvia recordings. I've been working on "Katie Dear" and "Marianne" - with the close harmony they make nice duets, too.

It sounds perfectly lovely on the Irish flute. I think I'm in
the key of G; it starts on the second octave D and
the highest note is the second octave Cnatural.
I picked it out as soon as I read this ~ so a suggestion ~

Why don't you start it in A?
You don't have to get up as high, and there are no accidentals. :)

That sounds good,too. I find high more dramatic,
also I'm playing on the street, and high
carries better. Thanks. Jim

ballads.

Anybody play My Funny Valentine?

Just the Way You Look Tonight?
