In fact you are both wrong, and right. Its Gary Owen, orrigionally an Irish drinking song, later adopted by George Custers Seventh Cavalry, and now the Armoured Cavalry. The other song is The Girl I left behind me, a song that was popular in the cavalry at the end of the civil war.
Gary Owen is my most favourite tune in the world and together with The Girl I Left behind me, on this instrument, makes for a heavenly combination.
Very well done sir, an absolute audio delight.
