Nice tune.  Was that printed in Bb, as it is in Howe's 1,000 Js and Rs?

I love that looooong slide near the end, Tim.  Was that your own personal touch?

I can't get that tune out of my head!

Slide....oh I guess so. Just noticed it.

Great! Now I have another tune added to the many tunes I want to learn but have a hard time just focusing on one. OK, can you post the notation...if possible. I love it buddy!

Nice work as usual Tim. Here it is in Bb in Hamilton's Universal Tune-book,1853 , it seem's identical to Howe's 1867 setting.

I've probably said enough about this already, but I noticed in his index that Mr. Hamilton says it's Russian. I also found it in A in Riley's Flute Melody's Second Vol. that would take it bake to at least 1820.
