      For some reason I am unable to get to this lesson, the Mary’s version or the OBS pattern lesson from here or on Instagram. The links here take me to the home page for signing up for Fiddlehed…. I want to learn this tune but I need to start with the Bile them Cabbage, Mary’s and/or the basic OBS pattern. What should I do?

      I have done this documentation with Piano over the years but I like the idea of creating a folder with a specific name. My videos of piano are everywhere.
