Dear Joe's Mama, Thankyou for your kind of things. Never before in the history of human past has there ever been not so much as many as there has ever been before to go for so few to that which is more than enough. I have always often thoughts sometimes that insomuch as therefore I am of such things but not are such things. Your comment is. I mean, really, is. I thanks to you. Always.

Oh really! That's fascinating! This song was collected by us in Tassie via the Cape Barren string bands, mostly Palawa people. It's now a standard tune here. Now we know where it comes from! Thanks!

@@ccthornley Colin Boyd lived from 1891 to 1975. According to the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame's website, "...he spent from 1911 to 1916 working in Boston where he studied violin and learned to read music. It was during this time he composed his most famous fiddle tune 'The Little Burnt Potato'." Don Messer, a popular New Brunswick fiddler, had a radio show in New Brunswick, then a national radio show broadcast from Prince Edward Island, followed by a national television show (radio period, 1940s -60s; television period, 1959 -69). Messer , who was by far English Canada's best-known fiddler made "Little Burnt Potato" a standard, so it was known across Canada and into the northern USA. You can find Messer playing LBP on KZbin. In a hundred years, "Little Burnt Potato" travelled from Cape Breton Island to Cape Barren Island. (I couldn't tell you the number of times, I heard my late mother from Prince Edward Island play that tune on the piano.)

Extra Credit for you Barnes!

Thanks! I have ambitions for this one,

Thanks, but if you don't play HOW DO YOU KNOW?? I could be crap!

@@ccthornley I tend to disagree when a symphony such as yours enters one’s eardrums, you will immediately know what a masterpiece it is, You’re a humble man Thornley, well done

@@BarnesAdventures I'm the humblest of them all!

Thanks Fidel!
