I got the last 2 also...Far South and Hampton's. Ever done Hampton's?.....now that one is sure different.

nope haven't done Hampton's.  but i'm excited by Far South and Narraganset.  they will take lots and lots and lots of practice for me, and even then may never leave my living room...

Far South falls within what seems pretty normal, although adventuresome. You'll kill on that one I know.

The very last line of the Narraganset is a killer!

Yea...voicing the triplets and keeping them even is hard.

Yeah.  Before Tim got me dusting off the fiddle and I was playing banjo, I'd almost have the rest of that tune but the last part was, indeed, was beyond my ability and thus I tended abandon the whole thing.  I always liked the tune, however.  When I first heard it on one of Tim's CDs, I thought, "I have to learn that one!"
