Quaker Ladies (Little Bluets)
by @pippa
Liner Notes
The tune developed from a tiny snippet in a market recording. The name came from the dictionary. Apparently Quaker ladies are a type of flower, also called little bluets. According to the Westborough Community Land Trust, they are native wildflowers that grow in small clusters or large eye-catching patches of blue or white.

Fresh as a, er, bluet! Nice use of those open string notes - gives it some rhythmic drive.

This has my thinking about one time in Maine when, while walking down a quaint street, I heard music cascading out of an old town building. I poked my head inside and there people in there playing fiddles and guitars. It was just instrumental but it was a very welcoming sounds. Anyhow, your fiddle playing feels like what I heard that memorable day.
