Gallons of Brandy/ Fox Tell

from Before I Knew What Had Begun I Had Already Lost by Jon Wilks

about

I learnt this instrumental directly from John Spiers, and then from Jackie Oates. I wanted to bring out the childlike nature of the tune, hence the music box. I’ve performed it as part of a duo with Jackie and it takes a lot of concentration. If you want to give it a go, the tuning is DGDGCD. Knock yourself out.
