Such a hauntingly beautiful melody, and I always enjoyed playing it on my fiddle. Now, I will be able to learn it on my five string also!

Nice little number! Really sorry we won't be seeing you on this year's ski trip. We'll miss the laughs we shared. Hopefully our paths will cross again at some point.
