This is a fiddle tune about murder and the consequences of it. A young man of 21 who is "too old to be controlled" is shot to death my a jelous man who is executed for his mistake.

[jeannemcdaniel]

Where are you? Maybe My instructor knows somebody. He knows people all over who play all kinds of instruments. Thanks for the kind words. We are just getting started with this kind of music and really having a ball!

[70Mack]

Iam from right slap bang in the middle of England my friend,very slim odds that anyone would play this kind of music round these parts.Anyway great stuff mate keep it up and keep postin your stuff on here!

[jeannemcdaniel]

Will do!! Maybe you can pick up some tricks here yourself. We are from South Carolina, just a few miles east of the appalachain mountains. This music is as ubiqitus as the wind here. We are very lucky. Thanks again for the kind words.

Too old to be controlled

I pulled my revolver from my side

And I destroyed that poor boy's soul

[toobbee]

and the more i watch this, compared side by side with other bluegrass here on you tube, the more i recognize the different nuances of that particular region

its awesome!
