The Lone Bush

This is as I recall playing it from some years ago. It used to be popular in Edinburgh, and I can remember playing it with Peter Boond on cittern, and also John Martin on fiddle. I think John may have recorded it with Billy Ross. It's an Ed Reavy composition, but no doubt has been "modified" over the years since he composed it. I seem to remember that Liz Carroll recorded it too, on an LP on the "Rounder" label, which was all Reavy compositions.

Good tune. Unfortunately, I didn't learn to play it amongst such illustrious company. We got taught it "at the ALP". :-)
However, I think Simon Bradley was our tutor so that's not too bad.
