N.B. MIDI is a terrible way to learn a fiddle tune!
The rhythm is inspired by Armenian music, specifically the oud of John Bilezikjian, whose 1994 album Music of the Armenian Diaspora has been a favourite of since its release. The rhythmic pattern goes 3-2-2-3 | 3-2-2-3 | 3-2-2-3 | 3-3-2-2 — Note that the last bar in the pattern is different.
I played it with Tab Hunter on our 1999 album "dolor ipse". You can purchase a download here on my Bandcamp page.
