Notes

No tune can adequately commemorate this great fiddler. Ed felt that he was the last of the great players, and the only one he ever heard who had that strange wildness in his playing that only the great ones possess. Ed wrote the tune as if Mike were to play it. Perhaps he alone had the tools to do it complete justice.
