Sophies Lullaby
This,of course,is not a Barndance! But the time signature is convenient and anyone listening to Mr.Bain play this should be able to pick up the melody from my submission. Thats my hope. Aly shifts position from time to time,for example,playing the B at the beginning of the third bar on the D string and the e in bar 2 of the B music,on the A string. Cuts,slides and vibrato combine to transform this simple progression of notes into a truly sumptious lullaby-I think so,anyway. I noticed this in the Requests section and transcribed it from the Transatlantic Session clip on You Tube. Apologies(again!) for not being computer literate enough to provide a Hyperlink-some day!

This is indeed a hauntingly beautiful tune - despite (because of?) it's simplicity.
