Far Afield from Far Afield by Miles Zurawell
"Far Afield" is the title track of the album, and is probably the most "bluegrass" of all the tracks. The melody and the title came to me all at once on the road between the West Coast of Canada and the Prairies - a thirteen hour drive with many empty stretches of landscape. In my mind I heard John Reischman playing this melody on his mandolin, and it is an honour to have recorded it with him.
