North-South Handy (Eskimo Tune/Sweet Richard)

©Trad, Greenland and the Southern United States

        I learned "Sweet Richard" from Tom Judge and Nick Apollonio, of Tenant's Harbor, Maine. Tom called it "a southern tune." The Eskimo tune is about as far from that as you can get: it was collected in Greenland around the turn of the century, where some Eskimos were dancing to it. The chords are my own. (GB)

North-South Handy is recorded on the CD A Water Over Stone
