Very old songs

[Mark Kleinhaut]

This one traces back to 1670 according to Wikipedia. I still have to give it my treatment though.

I don't think that's the way they played it in 1670. But times change, and sometimes they get better. This is better than the original.

Thanks, I’m sure the purists with call me out for heresy, but if the jazzers like it then I’ll be happy

Heresy! But then, who is pure enough to make that call? Anyway, that is probably the most interesting rendition I have heard yet.

Thanks Tony. I’d like to find some other ancient tunes like this to mess about with.

thanks! Isn’t that fingers AND thumb redundant? Or is this a literary reference that’s going over my head as most of them do?

Loved it! But back in "it's day" it would probably be considered witchcraft.

Today, it's just an amazing example of musical wizardry.
