Description
Some time ago, my crazy brother-in-law left a little ditty on my answering machine. I believe it's an old folksong from the yeovil (UK) area where he's from. Little did he know that I would take that clip and use it for my own devices! What I tried to do is compose a traditional theme and variations from the various melodic phrases in the song, trying to make them overlap in interesting ways. After I play with the theme in myriad ways, you'll hear the voicemail song at the end. It was a lot of fun to do and I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.

Lyrics
"Where be that blackbird be
I know where he be!
He be up yon Wurzel tree
And I'll be after he
Well, I sees he
And he sees I
Wonder if I can't get-un
With a gert big stick
I'll knock him flat
Blackbird, I'll 'ave e!"
I know where he be!
He be up yon Wurzel tree
And I'll be after he
Well, I sees he
And he sees I
Wonder if I can't get-un
With a gert big stick
I'll knock him flat
Blackbird, I'll 'ave e!"
