My sight reading is marginal, but I think this an arrangement of this 1848 Christy's Minstrels tune by the same name: http://www.loc.gov/item/sm1848.460380
I'm still working on this one and was using a cheesy tambourine loop made with the whimpy tambourine that comes with GarageBand's drumkits... so I decided to make a loop with an actual tambourine. Then I found a rattle in the Jazz drum kit that sounds a lot like a jawbone. Interesting possibilities here, if only for practice!

This is nice. Has little hints of round-peaky elements in it. (those pull-offs on the first string e.g. ; even a little bit of fire on the mountain.)
Yeah, it has a very clawhammery feel to it in general, and different parts of it keep reminding me of other things I can't quite put my finger on.
Thanks for putting this once more on my radar. I'm working on it right now.
I love putting all of the MP3s of Tim's tutor CDs on shuffle; sooner or later one of them like this floats to the top of the 'to learn' pile!
Right.
