Good evening! I'm here because you just were here, even if for one minute and twenty seconds.
I'm seeing Burnaby, knowing a city in British Columbia,
and the Royal Conservatory of Music, somewhere I hung out at in Toronto.
That was about listening to classical buskers out on the street, always a treat.
All this makes me think you're Canadian. I'm in the Niagara Peninsula.

I have to admit I'm not getting much of a country dance out of your piece.
Maybe I'm thinking about the country bands I played in along the way,
not some pastoral theme for nylon string guitars.

Do you play this variation of an A minor chord?
Bottom E string, fifth fret A.
A string, third fret C.
D string, second fret E.
G, B and E open.
