Found this while looking for inspiration, which I also found. Going into the studio in a couple of weeks to play mando on an old-time demonstration CD. This is fresh without straying far from the roots.

@fiddlefeller That is great to hear! I'm glad you found something to built upon. "Fresh without straying far from the roots" is kind of what I strive for, so thanks for those words!

Beautiful! Had to learn it right away! Thanks. Annoyingly I was looking for the Irish one (I believe this one is originally Sherman's March to the Sea) but I can only find the harpsichord masterpiece posted by lorgain2. Who cares now I know this! I'm going to do a set of this, Bonaparte's Retreat (the Scots one as played by Aly Bain) and The Drummers of England. Yummy!

@EblockShorty That sounds great! I'm glad you liked the tune :)

@MrBluegrassfiddler Thanks Mr Fiddler, I appreciate it!

Hearing this song is like eating chocolate ice cream in middle of August.

Thanks so much for posting this. Both sad and happy. Another tune to hum strolling down a country road.
