Civil War Captain Charles William Owston of the Pittsburgh Rifles
Company A, 9th Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps
This rendition is beautifully done by the tune's composer and his accompanist. I like to use this waltz to warm up on the mandolin as it is not only beautiful, there is an interesting addition of a C chord during the song's bridge that makes this tune written in D even more fun to play.
Jay Ungar talks about writing the song
While often wrongly credited as a traditional air, this song was actually written in the late 1980s.
