All of a sudden my tracks don't line up. I'm sure it's some setting I've messed around with, so I'll sort it out eventually. I was trying to do another collaboration with one of Dave's Practice tracks. I give up (for now). Anyway, here's the melody track I was trying to add. I don't know what's going on with my recorder.

I asked if I could use one of his practice tracks as a rhythm track. He graciously acquiesced, so here it is. Thanks, Dave, that was fun. An "online collaboration" with (flatpickle) Dave.

Very sad, traditional Civil War song, but one of the most beautiful melodies, in my opinion. Lots of folks have done it, including Dylan, Garcia, Julie Miller, etc. Me on my D35 and singing, though not much true flatpicking in it. Rough recording with a poor computer mic.

Convicted on circumstantial evidence and the testimony of his sister-in-law who was living with them at the time, Coleman was tried in nearby Cumberland County and sentenced to death. While being driven to the place of execution in a two-wheeled ox cart, Coleman sat on his coffin and played a tune that has come down as &#34Coleman&#39s March.&#34 Coleman protested his innocence to the last. Also attached to the tune is the legend that before Coleman was hanged he offered his fiddle to anyone who could play the tune as well as he, and at least one source identified a Kentucky fiddler named Franz Prewitt as the recipient. Prewitt&#39s descendants remembered him as having been indeed a fine fiddler. The tune dates back to the 18th century British Isles. It is known by various names, one being “Old Hickory” after President Andrew Jackson.

My favorite recording of this is probably by flatpicking virtuoso, David Grier, and my version is definitely influenced by his masterful work. I love this song as it makes for an excellent solo guitar piece via liberal use of chords, double stops and crosspicking-style rolls/fills that play around the melody in interesting ways. Definitely a great tune to pick up and add to your playing! I have also added my transcription of the first A and B parts to the Flatpicker Hangout TAB archive for anyone intersested in learning the basic arrangement.
