Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens

It’s been about 40 years ago now that Roger Samples and I sat in the kitchen on a hot summer night and came up with this arrangement of an old Appalachian ballad we both loved. Now, this particular version of the song settled in my memory over the years, coming out again only occasionally. For instance, it did make it onto The Flood’s first commercial CD back in 2001, but then went back into hiding for another decade or two. Well, last night was one of those evening when it made another rare re-appearance. Here’s “Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens,” pretty much as Rog envisioned in all those years ago.
