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 RTZ", good description of the sound !!!, I'm more than happy with the sound of this $27.81Aud build :-D

"Thanks Again Bones", you're more than welcome to come up for as long as you like and play all my Gits, might have to dust the cobwebs off a few of them though :-D

"Thanks Richard", may have exaggerated a little with the number of takes, but it did take a few, had it down pat a few months ago, then went on a 3 week Road Trip/Pub Crawl, and on returning home the fingers forgot what to do  :-D

You rock it alright mate I love your builds so many to look at I’d love to come up for a month and play every one of them . 

Comment by Richard Sundberg on June 7, 2018 at 2:57pm

Just beautiful AGP! Very expressive tones with your  smooth as silak slide. Ham fisted goodness, 3,562 not necessary!

"Thanks Sailor Bones", am definitely going to try and post more Vid's as to how some of my builds sound, despite my lack of Musical Prowess  :-D

Comment by Jeff 'Bones' Reilly on June 7, 2018 at 2:23pm

Love the sound very much like my Autoclave build great to see you back on the Nation AGP#.

"Thanks Andries", tried playing this one on a lot of the different builds I have, but sounded best on the "Hole Bucket" build, which is as they say, just a "Stick in an Aluminium Steamer"  :-D
