Old Time Fiddle Tune Washington's March On Double Bass

A tune from Edden Hammons, WV. Sometimes played at almost hoedown speed, but I think it wants to be a slow dirge. In the old-timey bass tuning of DADA (if fiddlers cross tune, why shouldn't we?). Not a huge difference here, but for some other tunes tuning up the G to A makes a big difference in playability on the bass.

That's awesome, I call mine an upright fiddle, but never thought about playing it like one...thank you for exposing me to a new light.

You have wonderful talent, such a soft touch in your left hand.
