Sounds like the melody was used for some other songs, like "The Battle of New Orleans".
Good playing!

Way to go Barry.....
Can't get over how well you are suited to playing the viola.

I'm very impressed Barry, it sounded great. I have to agree with Fiddlerman, the viola seems suited for you and this type of playing.

I think I commented on this one on facebook.. but yes.. it was another Sunday hit for you Barry. 
I noticed by the time you got to Street Jelly, you had a third shirt on.
Cheers buddy!

So you were on StreetJelly again.
When I checked, quite recently, you hadn't been there for a few weeks. LOL

@Barry Nice work.
What do you think about posting the backing track alone so that folks could give the melody a try?
The melody fits on the G, D, and A strings, so it fits both violin and viola.

Yay! Clap, clap, clap. Yes I too have always loved this tune because my uncle used to sing it (New Orleans version).
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

@Barry Never mind. I don't think I'll be using it.

Great job @Barry .
This has been my go to tune at the jam session I attend. That is until this week, just last night. I have started learning St Anne's Reel and I kept switching to it and got myself all confused!!

Nicely done Barry. It looks like the viola is your kinda fiddle.
