We Love Our Music

Ashokan Farewell, a song I have loved since I first heard it over 35yrs ago. A song I have though I’d like played at my funeral some day. It’s been played at many funerals over the years, especially in Bluegrass circles.

Tonight was the season finale of the show Yellowstone, John Dutton was buried. Surprised me, they played Ashokan Farewell as background music…

Some might remember it from the 'Civil War' by Ken Burns. The song was used on his series for pbs in 1990.

Here it is in mp3 format if anyone wants a copy… bottom. Just right click and select 'save audio as'.

And on youtub preformed by Jay Ungar, the man who wrote the song in 1982…

Nice!
Reminds me of “Little Wing” and a vodka drinking night in a large cement block garage with a good sound system and concert speakers.
