Johnny J	Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) (126* d)	RE: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??)	13 Aug 24
Re the comments about "learning it from paper" at The SMG... I first learned it there by ear from Angus Grant Junior in the early nineties. He told us the tune's history too and also about the Civil War film connection. We would have been among the very first ALP students to play this tune and we all learned it by ear. Angus always taught this way and didn't even hand out sheet music at his classes. Sometimes, one of his class members might transcribe it but that was as close as we got.
