I just remembered: this is actually an old, Negro spiritual: Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho. For grins, here are the lyrics, in case Janie and friends get a hankerin' to sing some:
Chorus:
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho;
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down.
Verse 1:
You may talk about your kings of Gideon,
You may talk about your men of Saul
But there's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Now the Lord commanded Joshua;
"I command you and obey you must;
You just march straight to those city walls
And the walls will turn to dust."
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Straight up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand,
"Go blow that ram's horn," Joshua cried,
"For the battle is in my hand."
(Chorus)
Verse 4:
The the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow,
And the trupets began to sound,
And Joshua commanded, "Now children, shout!"
And the walls came tumbling down.
(Chorus)

I just love this piece. Such an exciting combination of fiddle and banjo. And of course fantastic performance. Really shows off the fiddle well.
