Eliot Grasso tune

Eliot named this jig for the well known bowmaker, Morgan Andersen. A foret, by the way, is a hand-driven drill for boring the eyes out of frogs. (We had lots of fun with *that* description.) Somehow, someway, someone simply must find a way to put this into a set with Bang Your Frog on some recording somewhere. Please?

Dammit.

I never remember to do this the first time: Eliot is currently playing this one in a set with two of his other tunes -- The Purse Rusted Shut, and The Green Lady (http://thesession.org/tunes/display/5879), ending with this one.
