Is it possibly you misheard the name of the piece at a noisy session somewhere? This piece is a waltz composed, I believe, by Jay Ungar for the Ken Burns Civil War documentary. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. BeauD |

The realaudio clips are usually enough to jot down the tune if you're at all familiar with it, sometimes they start mid-tune but usually you can sort it out -- if it lasts 20-30 seconds usually that's the whole form for a reel. Nothing on it at Fiddler's Companion, couldn't find a midi or an abc, sorry.
