Couple random notes

First, when I heard this on Anna-Wendy's self titled album, the bar |e2d efg| in the B part was once played |efe efg|.

Second, this song gives me the image of bouncing tribbles playing bag pipes. Not really sure why. But it is bouncy. Must be the up-down parts.

Composer

Meant to put this in the first comment. This was composed by Simon Bradley, fiddle prayer with the Asturian band Lian de Cubel.

Tribbles ain't furry frogs ~

Tribbles playing bagpipes? ~ Is the first edition of Star Trek just reaching you down South? I'd love to hear it in Spanish. There is one problem with your bagpipe playing tribbles ~ first, no mouth in the ordinary sense, they absorb grain as their favoured diet ~ and they haven't any limbs, so no fingers either... I suppose, eating whole grains, they probably generate some by product like gas, so a source for expanding the bags, and if they then jumped up and down on them, no! ~ that won't work either, no limbs for jumping. It isn't like they were furry frogs... ;-)

Even if your 'South' is only as far as Oxfordshire, things are a bit backwoods there in places anyway, time warps and all, and if it is over on the next continent, well, North America is oozing all over with time warps and twilight zones...and the speak a different language too ~ lots of different languages... :-/

Yep, I'm on the next continent. We do have lots of different languages. Like American. :P

Most of the startrek stuff was from growing up. But who can forget the tribbles? :P

;-) ~ Yeah, me too, including absorbing some Star Trek ethics over the centuries... I tend not to get bothered and defensive when some glowing orb or something with a more impressive array of limbs comes my way. Hey, I wouldn't sneeze at dating a blue chick either... ;-)

~ and on the next continent ~ with respect...

Small correction

Yeeeah, just don't let Kirk by, or he'll steal her away ;)

Also, corrected the notation. Meant to have those middle notes tied. EG |d2(A A)cd| -> |d2A- Acd|

Have fun with the tune, and watch out for a physically impossible troup of pipers. ;)
