Neil Gow's Lament For the Empty Bottle

[Andy Howell]

This started offers a challenge to arrange the Scots traditional tune, 'Neil Gow's Lament for his Second Wife'.

I added a bit to the main theme and then decided to replace the whole main theme, so its a new tune inspired by the feel of the original.

The original seems suspiciously jaunty to be a lament for a dead wife. Hence my title.
