Blacktail Weasel and the Groundsquirrel Clan

Groundsquirrels had delighted the children of the Luther Academy of the Rockies Kids Program, and the kids' snack crumbs had delighted the family of groundsquirrels. While I was playing dulcimer, I was astonished as a blacktail weasel at the foot of Mt. Meeker that took every member of the groundsquirrel clan. I knew I would need to break the news about the circle of life the next morning to the children. A tune commemorating the end of the groundsquirrel clan seemed like the only appropriate way to memorialize them. Steve Eulberg plays his Mike Clemmer mountain dulcimer (with a doubled bass string) to demonstrate this tune.
