Who Let The Cows Out?..1910..Chas. Humfeld

[Steve Harrison]

This is an interesting novelty rag with plenty of variation. In bars 19 and 52, on the piano score there's an instruction to, "Make a noise like a cow!". For those lacking such bovine skills, I've added a chord triplet as an alternative. From bars 78 to 92, the composer has woven in some familiar melodies. In the first part and its repeat, I've simplified it by editing out the chords leaving just the melody notes which works better on the banjo. The score and midi are in the library...Steve

Nicely done. I like the alternative 'stop'...instead of "MOOOOOOO" (although that's what I would do in performance). In practice...well, I can visualize my neighbors whilst practicing my bovine sounds. =8-0
