Jean wrote "Yeshe in the Garden" for her cat Yeshe. This original piece has a complex and fast-moving melody led by fiddle and flute, and backed by the Bass and Bodhran.

The late, great Yeshe.

      "Yeshe in the Garden" is on our album The Life of Riley's Brother. The CD sleeve notes, written by Mick, state that, "Cats have long been an inspiration to us humans. From the ancient Egyptians to the 8th century "Pangur Ban," to Eliot's "Old Possum," they find their way into human endeavors -- much as they find their way into most everything else. Our fiddle player, Jean, was inspired by her beloved Yeshe, now, sadly. demised. Think of this tune as the soundtrack to a cat hunting things that we can't see."
