MANDOLIN - "cat hopper" Tablature

Subject: MTAB: The Cat in the Hopper
Hey all. Here is a nifty little tune, very haunting. Play it
both fast and slow. It is very typical of New England dance
music. There are spots, measures 7 & 13 in particular, where
you can wither play across the courses or up the neck easily.
For those who do not know, to play this correctly, play all
back beats as a downstroke (or bow down, wherever you may be !-)
That means for two triplets in a row you would:
count: 1 & a 2 & a
play : d u d d u d
It is that down up down down up down that gives a jig that feel,
ya know. Any way, here it is. Enjoy.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MANDOLIN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
