Old Time Fiddle Waltz 

That is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard, Southern soldier boy.

I followed this song when times are tough for 10 years

I come back to this video practically everyday since I first saw it. The music is so beautiful! I love the sound of a fiddle and especially Civil War era tunes.

Reaches in and grabs my heart. Beautiful!

Love it! Many Old Time musicians in West Virginia play this style.

Has a Irish sound too. Love it. I'm of scots-Irish background. Love good ole southern music.

Well if that wasn't the prettiest sound. I must say that was very good to hear. And I thank you for it Sir

Nice I feel proud to be Scottish Person I like the music

absolutely incredible - i'm obsessed...

...hauntingly beautiful

Thanks,The tuning is GDGD.I think the cords are Em G D.There is a C in the B part

Uuuuuberly beautiful... thank you for sharing! 😊

Beautiful , God bless you for sharing your talent

Patrick, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Victoria

Why I just can't quit listening to it.

Beautiful! So sad ... we can hear you play with your heart. Thank you.

Kind of along the lines of Star of the County Down. Great tune...

When was this made? I love it!

God bless the Irish my friend,and yes there is a lot of Irish in the old time tunes

Lovely song and playing of course!!!!!

Thank you southern darlin,what a compliment,you are a true southern darlin my friend

It is SOOOO nice to hear music played on an instrument!! Am exhausted of the synthesized nonsense today. This was and is something I have and will listen to many times! Thank you for uploading this.

This song is "Star of the County Down" - I really like this style. I learned a slightly different version recorded by Dave Rainwater. I'm always fascinated by different interpretations of a song. That's what keeps me INSPIRED, so thank you very much.

great Patrick, with the backing and sound on my PC it's almost a soulful Punk waltz, nout

Awesome tune and great playing. Thanks for posting.:)

beautiful piece

bbeautiful!! it almost sounds like the star of the county down!

nice, easy to play along with single fiddle and sliding mistakes

lovely. Please read the comments . "Star of the county down" has been mentioned so many times.

Nice. I'm going to try to learn that just the way you played it.

Thanks my friend,I love Scottish fiddle music also

I am honored that you would pick my tune to play first,that's the way you do it,pick tunes you really like and work on them,it will get easier,but half the fun is learning

That is a beautiful fiddle. Looks like it might be as old as that song :D

That's a beautiful rendition of "Southern Soldier Boy". This song of the American Civil War was written in 1863 by Captain G.W. Alexander and set to the traditional Irish tune, “The Boy With the Auburn Hair”. If you want to try your hand at it, here's sheet music and a backing track: musescore.com/user/643986/scores/5411457

Sounds a lot like Star of the County Down. Thanks.

Very Nice!!.... Sounds very close to "Star of the County Down"

Their is alot of Irish in that song you are playing... Very well done...GOD bless the Irish...
