Custer's favorite marching tune: ""Garryowen" is known to have been used by Irish regiments as a drinking song. As the story goes, one of the Irish "melting pot" troopers of the 7th Cavalry, under the influence of "spirits", was singing the song. By chance Custer heard the melody, liked the cadence, and soon began to hum the tune himself. The tune has a lively beat, that accentuates the cadence of marching horses, and for that reason was adopted as the regimental song soon after Custer arrived at Ft. Riley, Kansas to take over command of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. It was the last song played for Custer's men as they left General Terry's column at the Powder River and rode into history."
It can absolutely be done... When I record these tunes, I'm just playing with my foot-metronome, and I definitely don't have perfect timing! It'd be much easier to either record drums/bass while listening to the fiddle-track, or use a click-track and re-record the fiddle.
Thank you for that beautiful tune and beautifully played

I have always liked this old fashioned song. I want to remix this into a drum n bass track just to see if it can be done.

Are you sluring the triplets?
Yes? I didn't think too much about bowing while recording tunes back in 2019... I was learning/recording a tune every day that year.
I can dance to that one!!
