If this is a busy bee, it's what I need--something relaxing and pretty while I keep on working. What's a Shaker tune, Kevin?

The Shakers were a self-sufficient Christian sect that were around during the 19th and early 20th centuries that've we're well-known for their simple but high-quality craftsmanship in many areas, including furniture, clothing, music, cooking, etc. They were mostly concentrated in the northeast, lived in large communal groups, and were celibate, which explains their inevitable demise.
