Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, it was really a one shot deal, my friend in Colorado made a request for me to learn and play the song as it's her favorite lullaby, and so I tuned up one of her favorite harps that she hears me play, and figured out a key that would work in that range from several and chose this one tuned in F, and I had the melody written out on the back of a giant envelope, I usually play by memory, and I did after a couple takes, and just used the harmony that I like, there's an arrangement out there which had that opening and closing, I don't know if that's an original by Stephen Foster or if that was something added on, but anyway that was the first time I've ever really played the song was the same that I recorded it! It was completely off the cuff, there is no sheet music other than the lead sheet that I ended up not even using after I learned the song quickly, so I don't have anything written down that I played, although I could sit there and write it down and make a score from that arrangement that I play, I've done that plenty because I have perfect pitch and I can transcribe what I hear either externally and or in my head. I just never really feel the need to write things down because I just remember them after a while, and nobody else plays my arrangements that I'm aware of, so I just don't need to write them down, but if I ever do, I will certainly remember that you wrote and were interested, and I'm very grateful that you like the song and you can thank Holly for the request :-) I never would have played it if she hadn't asked me to do it, but it is a nice little song isn't it :-)
So relaxing and special Hello Little Green.
Hi Connie!!! I was wondering just last night how you are doing, I need to check in with you, hope all's well!

If I ever play it again, I might put the melody in the bass and chords above and around at some point, just an afterthought
I would really like to be able to play this tune is there a place that I can purchase it?
