[RedHeadRadulf83]

This is by far one of my favourite melodies, EVER!

[billboardnumber1]

first discovered this song from the "I am American" commercial by the Ad Council (2001)

[danotunes]

@billboardnumber1 Likewise,dont know exactly how I found out who it was but when I did I found it on a audio cassette before their demise. Now I got it on cd

[DaveMatsonGuy]

I just read the book "So Cold The River", By Michael Koryta. It refrences this song directly. And he incorperates it into the story quite well. I just thought that was interesting. Thank you.

[soulbrotha63]

This would make a beautiful song for a wedding party to enter in with.

I've loved this song for the longest time. I don't know what made me think of it today... This is the type of song you can FEEL.

[vizhtor77]

Aghh, the best song of this cd is a shocking one called death by tripple fiddle, where Bush and Marshall play the violin! I lost the cd! if you have it could you please hang it? thanks

[shippermd]

Wow, such heartfelt music! Beautiful vid.

[loganidol]

This song was used in Ad Council's 2001 "I am an American" commercial.

Does anyone know where I can get sheet music for this song? Appreciate any info available.

[meg2789]

I'm not sure where/if it's available. Good luck in your search!

@meg2789 The composer is the bassist on the piece, Edgar Mayer a former Indiana University/Bloomington musician.

[kotaboner42]

. . . make that "wonderful--both to watch and to hear." (Sorry!)

[harmonielehre2]

Are there ANY videos of the Short Trip Home group (Edgar Meyer, Joshua Bell, Mike Marshall, & Sam Bush) actually performing? I saw them live in St. Louis and they were just wonderful--both to watch and to here. They opened with this cut from their CD, which I immediately bought!

[meg2789]

There aren't any performance videos out there that I'm aware of, which is a shame! Hopefully someone will upload something one of these days. (And no worries concerning the typo, hehe.)

You may want to check out NPR. This concert was taped and aired on a public broadcasting station. I was staying in Frederick, MD at the time and watched it on TV.

[meg2789]

Thanks for the info! I'll have to check that out.

[fskerrat]

Check out the website for public broadcasting. I saw this concert a couple of years ago, on TV. It was aired on Public Broadcasting - Frederick, MD.

@harmonielehre2 There's the smallest of clips on a German documentary. The series is Arte TV in 6 parts, and STH is on part 3/6, about 4:15 minutes in.
