Here's TAB for (yet) another fiddle tune - "Molly Bloom" by Alan Munde. This
is a really pretty one IMHO, and kinda challenging to play.
Note the use of high-fretted strings against open strings. (See measures 8 &
17, for example.) Let these notes ring into each other, giving a nice "floaty"
effect.
Play this one at about 180-200 beats/minute.
