It was used in that long TV Civil War series. It brings on tears when needed.

Thanks for that Warren...great day for it. Not that there's a bad day for that song, especially the Jay Ungar/Molly Mason version.

It is a lovely tune and one that allows for lots of interpretive feeling. Mr. Ungar has been playing and teaching it for years and can still come up new subtleties. It was written to express Mr. Ungar's melancholy at the end of The Fiddle camp season at Asokan NY.
Another heart felt fiddle lament that I love is Elk River Blues by Ernie Carpenter. Written as he watched a newly formed lake devoured his family farm.
