early americana - didn't know what it was at the time but i first heard this as a march when i was in the army. no-way near as evocative or well played as the dread66mon (bing futch) version (graziemille.)

[GustavusAdolphus1]

This is an awesome rendition. It's nice to see innovative playing of old songs, because that's the way they were played then.

BTW, it's not an American song. It's Irish.

grazie gus' - you're absolutely right, it is an irish song - one that's traditionally played by every marching band in america. i first heard it when i was in the army. thank you again - bill

I must have watched this 20 times, now...

grazie 'peat ... there's no prize for endurance, however.

(thank you.)

I'm just catching this - really nicely done! It amazes me just how much variety there is with this tune, lyrically, musically, emotionally. Nice pickin'!

thank you, bing - if i could make my mandolin express even half what you do with the dulcimer, i'd be a very happy man.

@GustavusAdolphus1 It's not Irish sung all over the UK & Ireland but probably English.

[Kaidem]

nicely done. If you're keen on strings, I recommend watching the old videos of The Corries. Roy made his own hybrid instruments, calling them Combolins.

What is the song book you are using, I would love to practice these songs for the Saint Louis Renaissance Faire
