Just came upon this while researching something. I find it quite beautiful.

The slit-glasses the young lady is wearing were in fad three or four years ago. Seems like they were about the only offerings at the optometrist's office back then.

The tune is unfamiliar to me. My wife and I used to go jam with an old guy who played a fiddle. He knew a lot of Irish tunes as well as a lot of Mexican ones. I tried to tag along with my banjo but finding all of the cords was challenging. I realized how much I had taken for granted how rich Irish and Mexican music are. He was 80-somethingish years old back then. I wonder if he is still alive. I had arranged a sailor's hornpipe which was really fun to play. You would probably recognize it as the tune played on PopEye cartoons.
