It's pretty. I like that kind of ballad, sounds british. I'm sure I heard it before somewhere, but the heck if I can remember where!

Thank you. Irish, I'm pretty sure. It was a TV show at one time, Civil War stuff.

I want to say that sounds Irish, but I wouldn't know for sure.

Still, it's really pretty. =)

And I see why I want to-- because I replied to your comment instead of the submission itself. xD

Thank you, anyway. I appreciate it.

It was actually written for Ken Burns' "The Civil War," but it's done in an authentic 19th century Appalachian folk song style.

There were many Scottish highlanders and Northern English who settled in Appalachia, and often the only stylistic difference between Southern folk music and a traditional anglo-Scottish jig, ballad, or reel is the presence of the banjo (an Afro-Caribbean introduction).

I can quite proudly say, that I knew all of that... but vaguely, anyway. I learned all that in my studying the origins of country western and bluegrass music.

Ah... I more or less learned from a combination of family history (pre-dating the Revolution) and listening to both Southern and British folk music.

oh verry nice i loves

Cool, thanks bunnykins.

That's awesome! I'm definitley faving this XD


Madolin is sezzay <3 Now if I could just afford one XD

Thank you, Di.

As for cost. I'm not sure what your budget is, but you CAN get them for pretty cheap. I bought mine for $50. The quality is obviously not what I'd like, but it works fine and does what it's supposed to.

o: Wow, nice... or crap.. depending on how bad the quality is lol The one's at the music shop here, I think the cheapest are around $290-something x,x

You are amazingly versatile - yes, I would like to hear you play it on the violin. I wonder what it would sound like on a 12 string electric guitar...

O.O

Ooh, that is an awesome idea. Too bad I don't have one though. I most certainly will record the violin version soon, I hope.

And thanks, Foxypants.

Thank you! Nice new avatar, too.
