I reckon that it is Jerusalem Ridge 
You sure picked a difficult one.
Too difficult for me to even think about learning at this stage @Hman
Here is another version

Ah yes. Thanks @Ferret . I dunno, I think I can do it. I won't be consistent, but I'll be able to pull it off.

Your welcome mate.
It 'is' a nice tune. I'd like to see a video if you manage to get it under control

Nice piece. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. 
Found this link with the sheet music and other nice tunes as well. http://briankwood.net/tunes.directory/
Makes me want to start playing more folk music.

@Ferret I would but I don't have a camera. 
Which is funny because I have a crazy computer with triple monitors and the whole nine yards, but I've never needed a camera for anything. Maybe it's about that time...
@Fiddlerman Yea, it's a sweet piece. I really enjoy it. I'm still on the Irish songs and have a bunch I like to play. But I find random folk/bluegrass songs that I really enjoy. Here's my newest song I've almost got under my belt: Banish Misfortune.

Is one of those a viola or just a deeper sounding violin?

Same instrument. Two fiddles/violins. The girl has a nice "chop" going that may give your the impression of a lower instrument.

Fishnrods, funny you should post that video as I watch it pretty often when I'm looking for inspiration.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

I LOVE Jerusalem Ridge. I think it's my favorite fiddle tune and I'd love to be able to play it someday on either the fiddle or the mandolin. Annie Staninec does a nice job with it. Mark O'Connor also does a great version of JR, and here's a nice rendition, too, by the Turkey Creek String Band:
By the way, I recently won three Skype fiddle lessons with Annie in a contest run by The Slipper shoulder rest maker and fiddlerman.com member Fred T. @ftufc on Facebook. Really looking forward to it.
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

@KindaScratchy Yea, I love that version of JR as well. I watch it all the time. I just love watching Annie so much though. She has the best form/technique and I want to emulate her so badly.
I am more than jealous that you get to have a few lessons with her. I'm going to go sulk now.
