Me Playing the solo from "Ashokan Farewell"

"Ashokan Farewell" composed by Jay Ungar, used by PBS's The Civil War miniseries (please don't sue me, as I own no rights to the original work except for a copy of the violin music, which is somewhere burried in my room)

I have known how to play this piece since I was in 6th grade, and have always jumped up to play the solo for our strolling strings group in my school.

I want to dedicate this to all of those from my summer trip this year. This piece was running through my head all through our last night and all through the plane rides home from TJJ '09 Bus 2. I am quite saddened that I did not get to play it for all of you in person, mainly because I didn't bring my violin with me, but I hope that this video still sends the message to each and every one of you.
