I think she's playing it a bit too fast.

The tone on the violin is amazing. However, this version is a little too "waltzy" for me. I maintain that it should stay in the vein of a lament.

Extrodonary, very sad, but very good. Well played and good song, along with the rythymn
-
It was written as a waltz though, I believe
-
@edboswell Its waltz time - popular at the time of the American civil war. Try dancing to it played slower.

My dad used to play this on his violin every night before my brother and I went to bed. I want it on cd but its so hard to find
-
The writers of this tune just played it in concert in Manassas VA on July 9,2011.

My uncle's funeral was on Friday; he was only 58 and left a wife and three daughters. this was used as processional when his family came in; I couldn't think of a more beautiful tribute.
GlockSMG-- yes it does remind me of James Horner's Titanic theme

Joe, good to meet you in Indy this past weekend. Really enjoyed your rendition. I'd seen it before, but not connected it to seeing you and Sherri at OVG in person last year. Anyway, hope you've got time to check out my harmonica version.

I love this arrangement. It feels more folksy than the original, and it seems appropriate.

I saw Jay and Molly at the Earlville Opera House. Do you ever play there? If so, advise when and I'll be there for sure.
Thanks for sharing for free...absolutely beautiful rendition.

RE: Those who have posted that perhaps this version is played too fast. I have gone back to the original 1981 Fiddle Fever recording and timed the A & B parts. Fiddle Fever completed A & B in exactly 1:00 minute. I timed this peformance - part A & B at 1:03 minutes.
