Had not heard that one, I'm familiar with Bonaparts retreat played in cross tuning.

Sounding good.

Looks like you have a big fan there just begging for some attention.

Mmm. The Napoleonic Wars were a golden age for fiddle tunes.

You have a lovely swing going there, Greg; enjoyed this rendition.

Boney crossed several mountain ranges during his imperial expansion (and was made to re-cross them). Many of our better-known shanties, marches and jigs date from the time; "King of Prussia's March" is one of my favourites: I must get around to learning it:
