@Mandolin1944 Thanks! Yeah, this song is a pretty popular old one. I used to sing it with my elementary kids when I taught school. It's one of my faves. Would love to see your vid when you have it learned!
YAY! I've been looking for a fantastic example of what Im trying to play!
Ive never heard a solo instrumental version (what i was looking for), and before i came looking for examples, I had never heard the song before. This gives me a magnificent picture in my head, I could almost see the music running across my head!
Thank you parker and Phlegmin for the nice comments about my improv. No I will NOT be singing this. I don't sing well. I can sing on pitch but it's not musical.
I really like your improvisation...its original and interesting, but I can still hear the tune suggested at the root of your contermelody... its lovely, as is the tone you make.
Down yonder green vally where streamlets meander, when twilight is fading I pensively roam. Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander amid the shades of the lonely ash grove.
Nice job! I just came across this song last night and had to learn it. I had no idea is was so popular -- there's about a hundred version on YT!

That's great, improv is a gift and cannot be learned. Will we be hearing you sing it soon?

Sounds really nice on the mandolin. I have just tabbed a version for ukulele, if you have any children that play the uke.

I just ran across the lyrics for this song.
