Tune Information

Author: Stephan Deibel

Origin: USA - Cambridge NY

This tune was written by Cambridge NY fiddler Stephan Deibel in September 2015, on Janvrin's Island off Cape Breton. "The melody is based on imitation of the song and behavior of a yellow warbler that was in a bush, keeping me company down by the seashore on a beautiful sunny day."
