Fine playing! I like that tune. Like Terri and Brad said, a relative of Sally in the Garden, but it also has similarities to Pretty Little Indian. Where can I hear Bill Huber?
stay tooned....

Hi Glenn
Bill passed in 1999, but you can hear him via several Mp3's on my homepage....which I know you've already done but done probably forgot about :)....Bill was wonderful!
It was a blessing to be friends with Bill and to've made music with him.
In the these parts of NJ, Bill was
The Man when it came to fiddling & fiddlers.
As I've become ever-more addicted to fiddling, I'm ever-more aware of how much Bill remains a huge inspiration, fiddling role-model, mentor, etc....I often ask myself, when confronting the nooks and crannies of some dang &^*#*!! confounded tune
"How would Bill have done it, how would he have bowed this, etc.?" --Jane

Hi Jane! Always great to see you! Of course I remember Bill's tunes on your page....I play Robert E. Lee all the time. I'm just senile about remembering names.
stay tooned....

Thanks for the responses.....now I know that it's possible this was a version of Sally In the Garden but Im not sure where Bill got the second part from ....Im sure glad I decided to jot tunes down over the years , with my mind operating like a sieve I would have forgotten all the good stuff ... Ive no regrets about writing my festival/jam tunes out , now I have lots at my disposal... Im going to have to climb into the attic one day and see if any of the old jam tape cassettes haven't turned to dust yet , maybe there's a few more gems of Bill's sitting up there.
