You can listen to this tune as the last in a 3 tune set on the Kevin Burke Portland album. I believe he wrote it with Micheal O Domhnaill.

Heres my take.. sparse ornaments..basically just the melody.

thank you @mouse ! This is s one of my favorites right now. Love how the A part goes from minor to major in the B part. Like winter to spring.. its too gray here...waiting on those trees to start sprouting leaves.

Greg,

I've never heard that tune, but I like it.

Thanks for posting it, the fiddle is sounding good.

@GregW

Really enjoyed that, Greg!

It's easy to believe I haven't heard this one before.

I really love the tunes that switch back and forth between major and minor keys, too.

Appreciate you sharing "Up In The Air" with us!
