How come you aren't listing Coleman's March · Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill ? Very nice slow version.
🤔... how many more tunes from Fiddlers about to be hung? 🤭

So, have another tune for you, besides your Hangmans Reel with Story by Aly Bain thread.
"McPherson's Rant" (aka. McPherson's Lament, or Farewell).
...similar story.
🤔 Looks like Martin took our North American tune and made it his own, like many Old Time Fiddlers did with Irish & Scottish tunes.
Interesting to note, the Traditional Tune Archive has 3 versions of Coleman's March (1), also a Coleman's March (2) - aka. "The Bonnie Blue Flag", and a Coleman's March (3) - all Old Time!
LOVE the stories, thanks for posting the great tunes! 😊
