vid: another long lunar note
Laurie Lewis is one of the greatest fiddle players and singers on the planet. She originally recorded this on an album she did with Kathy Kallick, and it's a brilliant performance. Which is typical Laurie Lewis.
This song was originally recorded by Bill Monroe, whose daughter Melissa Monroe wrote it. It's my favorite sad song. Given that tomorrow -- my 44th birthday -- is a full moon, and that this week will be remembered with great sadness for the loss of a dear friend and beloved musician and teacher, it seems like the right song for this day.
