Nice! I know that song. I had forgotten about it though. Thanks for the pleasant reminder.

Nice job, Tim. Bet that sounds good around a Civil War campfire.

So pretty and smooth! I really like the double stops. Are you playing the accompaniment, too?

Thanks Janet, yes, that is my parlor guitar. The fiddle is an old German strad, circa 1870's, that I purchased from FHO member, Royce.

Man that' s a nice sounding tune, and fiddle. I really like the E string unison to a double stop thing. Niel Gow has some great tunes. Nicely done.
