    PSA: Played this twin fiddle version by request once again just last week at the service of a friend's deceased son here in Hot Springs.

    Been requested quite a few too many times since we recorded it over 20 years ago. I usually play the file at the grave site, simply using an iPhone and a Bluetooth Bose SoundLink Revolve+ (Series II) sitting on the ground. Unobtrusive, no muss, no fuss.

    Warning: By the time the twin fiddles kick in tears are falling, and when the solo fiddle fades into the distance at the end the flood starts.

    I have an MP4 file should anyone might want a copy for a similar purpose, just PM me and you're welcome to it.

    She grew up in the MS Delta. These lyrics, which she wrote, for me have been a bit haunting for decades.
    That song has haunted me since the first time I heard it... and I didn't even know Billie Joe...

    Wow! You could just jump to 2:01, but don't. Ya gotta hear the opening act to appreciate the twin stars.

    The idea was to represent the beginning, middle and end of a life with the instrumental arrangement/mix.

    Often, and if it seems appropriate, and as the ceremony ends and the last words are spoken, I'll start it again cue'd up at 3:09, and let just the solo fiddle fade out.

    Makes a nice end to the service that folks seem to really like.
