“Ashokan Farewell” was written by fiddler Jay Ungar and featured in the Ken Burns documentary The Civil War, and it has become a favorite of all sorts of instrumentalists. Bill Evans teaches the tune this month in his Bluegrass Banjo course. It’s a beautiful, slow melody and Bill plays it in a “chord solo” style (as he does in his “Amazing Grace” lesson), rather than the usual roll-based bluegrass banjo style. https://www.pegheadnation.com/string-school/courses/bluegrass-banjo . . . . #banjo #bl

Song 137: Ashokan Farewell PIANO (and violin) SUNDAY! Today I dust off my old violin from high school and play a piece by Jay Ungar that was the theme to Ken Burns' Civil War PBS miniseries. Also, you may notice a new street sign! Kathy Gallion O'Sullivan made this for me after some discussion in the comments saying that I need my own name up there. #pianosunday #violin #ashokanfarewell #liveathome | Tony DeSare
