This is a wonderful old Civil War tune sometimes called Rally Round the Flag.

I am using a newly reset up 2003 J.W Green Fiddle (the one with the Smoky Mtn Red Spruce that I named Opal after the Hurracane that brought the 450 year old tree to the ground)

Opal has a dark and fuzzy sound which I think brings a color of tone needed for a piece such as this one.

Very nice fiddling, Chuck. I also like the way you made the accompaniment very subtle.

Regards,
Tom

Chuck, you're my inspiration. THAT tune is on my to-learn list. In fact I've already wore it out for tonight!
