What I like about this tune is how it reminds me of a blackbird singing - not many tunes have that effect (now there's a thought for a discussion thread ...). If this is a first attempt then I think there's some promise here.
I feel, though, that the key of the tune is more Bmin than Dmaj - it ends on B, not that it matters as far as the sheetmusic is concerned because both keys share the same key signature (2 #s), but it's easy enough to change the key in the ABC file for the sake of the database records!

mmm...
Is it a Traditional tune?

This tune was made...
...a late night when I was fingering my mandolin because I was too tired to do it on my fiddle; then this happened.
Trevor: Thank you very much for your comments
Gian Marco: I believe it was created as a reel, it might be played as a hornpipe? Anyway, if it is Traditional or not I don't know. I suppose time (anong other things) will show if at tune is traditional. Doesn't it?

New title
Trevor: I have now changed the name of the tune so it will not appear on any list of recordings.
