This is a try at the great "modern classic" fiddle tune by Jay Unger entitled Ashokan Farewell -- made mega famous in the Burn's Civil War documentary. It IS a lovely waltz tune. I thought it was a fine tune for developing double stops too. I gave up on the Logitec webcam for creating videos and I gave up on their useless customer support team too! snarl! So this recording was made with an RCA Small Wonder video camera -- its much better I think -- and does a great job for such an inexpensive item. Played here in the key of D major on a 1920 Gibson F-2 mandolin with D'Aquisto M-21 phosphor bronze strings and a Wegen TF-120 pick. I created the guitar track using TablEdit software.
