Joanie Madden played this tune last time she was out our way, and she said Liz composed this on a button box, of all things, just noodling around while sitting at the top of the stairs in her home.

I think I had read that story somewhere , Will. A perfectly acceptable place to "noodle", and would that all "noodling" should lead to such a good tune.
