Trip to Nelson Many years ago (maybe 1982) Metamora (Pete Sutherland, Malcolm Dalglish, and Grey Larsen) did a concert in the Nelson Town Hall. The next day I was driving the band to Boston for their next engagement. Pete was sitting up front with me, scribbling away the whole time. After I helped them into Sanders Theater with their gear, I returned to my car, to find a some music sitting on the passengers seat. Pete had written it on the way down, and called it Trip to Nelson. It’s a somewhat unusual jig in its phrasing. The band Fresh Fish used to play it, and now it’s nice to have it revived by this new band which takes its name from the tune.
