Solomon FosterJust put down my accordion, and now I can hear my son practicing "River of Ponds" on whistle upstairs. Makes me so happy!
“Parson's Pond Jig”, from the repertoire of Newfoundland's legendary fiddler Rufus Guinchard. Played here in A (instead of its more usual G) by Daniel Payne on a Hohner A/D box, accompanied by his sister Stephanie Payne.

@NorthCrayMal @OccasionalDucks That's a lot of hurdy-gurdy!
So, I'm not *sure* this is a duck tune. This is an Aaron Collis composition, "The White-Winged Diver”, which is definitely named after some sort of seabird. Might be a white-winged scoter, which is a duck. Or maybe a white-winged tern? Dunno. https://youtu.be/enfMNkrjfUI?si=zHgEVZMZyXook-h7&t=226

Experimenting to see what I can do here, and get some hashtags under my belt, too. This is "Mrs Belle's Single #2", played by me on my then-new-to-me C#/D Saltarelle Nauge.
