This is a medley of two of the saddest stories I know of.
Coleman’s March was written in 1847 by Fiddlin’ Joe Coleman who was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of his mother-in-law. The story can be found here: https://nativeground.com/the-hanging...n-joe-coleman/ Farewell to Whisky was written in 1799 by Scottish fiddler Neil Gow. A failure of the Barley crop led to the Scots being prohibited from “wasting” barley to make Scotch whisky. The guitar is a 1987 Martin/Schoenberg Soloist tuned to DADGAD and capoed on the second fret. https://youtu.be/N-V8pXggHZQ

Really nice playing. Went to see what else you have on your YouTube site and watched another 1/2 dozen of your postings. Great picking. Made my evening as we sit by the fire. Thanks.
Jeff

Hi Bill,
As always, great guitar playing. I love listening to your tunes. You can make your guitars really sing, and on this one, I can feel the sadness. You the man! Thanks for sharing. Rene |
