These Three In The Evening

These three in the evening, harmonica and fiddle and guitar. Playing reel and tapping out the tune, and the big deep stringsf the guitar beating like a heart, and the harmonica's sharp chords and the skirl and squeelof the fiddle. People have to move close. They can't help it. "Chicken Reel" now, and the feet tap and a young leanbucktakes three quick steps, and his arms hang lip. The square closes up and the dancing starts, feet on the bare groun, beating dull, strik with your heels. Hands round and swing. Hair falls down, and panting breaths. Lean to the side now (363-364.)
