 KATIE'S GHOST. Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Falmouth, Massachusetts, musician and writer Bill Black, inspired by the pale night-time lighting on the statue outside the Falmouth library of the woman who composed the song "America the Beautiful"--"from the window of a pub across the street it looked ghostly enough to scare the bejayzus out of a young friend of ours recently."
