This is a little throw away note so you know I *am* alive, and 
am sitting here groaning at what just happened as I was listing 
the radio a minute ago.  There's a show on the local public 
radio station on Sunday evenings called "Country Roots" that I 
don't particularly like cause the mix has stuff I don't mind 
mixed with some stuff that really set my teeth on edge, but I 
let drone on in the background while I work on the computer 
because if I change stations or put on a CD I'll forget to 
change back in time for "Thistle and Shamrock" which I utterly adore.

So.... I'm sitting here ignoring the bluegrass music when my 
head pops up at a familiar tune.  A tune that's *not* bluegrass, 
but does fit with the styling.  If I wasn't extremely familiar 
with the piece, I might have thought it was actually a 
historical piece of bluegrass music.  It's a piece written in 
1982 called "Ashokan Farewell" 
http://www.jayandmolly.com/ashokanfaq.shtml, and a lot of folks 
have heard it as background music for Ken Burns documentary "The 
Civil War".

So..., in the first few measures as I'm shifting gears mentally 
the name of the piece comes up *almost* right.  So I Know I Have 
Been Reading Too Much Harry Potter When I recognize it as:

"Azkaban Farewell"
