Our 8th evacuation song recording found us again under a beautiful avocado tree in the Aptos Hills, waiting for the "re-population" notice that would allow us to return home. So far, the Santa Cruz CZU Lightning Complex wildfires had missed our home, and we were optimistic we would get to head there soon. So, we recorded this old Scottish song of farewell, "The Parting Glass" (supposedly once the most popular song in Scotland, until eclipsed by "Auld Langsyne"). It turned out to be a little premature, but it's a great song anyway! As usual, Fred is playing the 6-string Frog Banjo, Suzy is plink-plinking on the old banjo ukulele.
