This great old song was written in 1876 and since then it's been across genre and around the world. It's a bluegrass standard, a banjo showpiece, a piano student's etude, a British military march ... and thanks to Leonard Kwan it's a slack key instrumental!

Nowadays it's the song that tells Ledward my set is done and it's time for him to take the stage (grin).

Thanks for that, Fran. I have played along with this tune at bluegrass jams, but your slack key version is quite nice too.



I found bluegrass, old timey, and country vocal versions but sadly I was unable to find the song done as a British military march. I think my favorite is this one by Ken Aoki:
