Saw the 802 tour on Tuesday night. Yay Vermont! Here is video of
Sam Amidon, Nadia Sirota, and Nico Muhly (at the Hotel Cafe in LA) playing 'The Only Tune', an adapted folksong that tells the story of a young girl who has been drowned (by her own sister) in a river and is made into a fiddle by a miller who finds her body.



~ He made fiddle pegs from her long finger bones.
Oh, the wind and the rain!
He made a fiddle bridge from her own nose bridge.
Oh, the wind and the rain!
and he made a fiddle from her own breast bone.
Oh, the wind and the rain!
whose sound could melt a heart of stone.
Oh, the dreadful wind and the rain!
and the only tune that fiddle could play,
Oh, the wind and the rain!
The only tune that fiddle would play was,
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain!" ~
