Ashokan Farewell (Take 3,561 :-D)

Fell in love with this tune when watched the Ken Burns, The Civil War Doco a few yrs ago, was also very impressed with the Marinie Toman version posted on the Nation site a few months back, adapted it as best I could to suit "The Ham Fisted Bricklayer",s style of Slidin' :-D

"Thanks UJ" for the BIG WOW!, still strugglin' with the fretting business, so I guess I'm resigned to being a Slider :-D

"Thanks Clarky", Probably did edit it a bit tight at the end, but I'm pretty sure I got through most of it :-D

"Thanks Erasmo", I'll drink to anything, Bottoms Up and "Beers Cheers and many More Years" :-D

"Thanks Jim" a much appreciated comment from "The Master" :-D

"Thanks Wes", would sound great on a Dobro, will have an attempt at playing it some time in the future on my Weissenborn, but it could be a bit of a struggle as I'm not real flash with 6 strings, and I know all too well about tunes dropping out of ones head, thought I had this down pat over a month ago, but then went travelling for 3 weeks, and upon returning it was gone, and then struggled to get it back under the fingers :-D

"Thanks Dave", to me the Tune lends itself to Slide very nicely, and your right the Ken Burns Civil War series was a standout on the Idiot Box, watched it when they first started showing it over here, there has been many repeat showings, and I've always sat through them again :-D

WOW!  That is pretty and good.  Slide style.

Comment by Clarky on June 7, 2018 at 2:03am

What a lovely sound!  Abrupt ending too haha!  I was working away listening to it and it suddenly stopped.  Could have listened to that for an hour.

Well done AGP.  The bricklayer slides well!
