Niel Gow's Lament on the Death of his Second Wife. Arr. Michael Alan Wood.

Many know this slow air from 1805 as recorded by Canadian (originally Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) fiddler Natalie MacMaster. It's also the base tune for 'Get me thru December' by Alison Krauss. Arranger Wood has this version in standard tuning in his book, 'The Gigging Guitarist: Traditional Celtic and Appalachian Tunes for Fingerstyle Guitar.'
