Everyone seems to have a different version of standard Bluegrass tunes. Would like to know if any of you do "Gary Owen"? Please present only the very simple melody on E9th you play. Simple Basic melody. I keep hearing different things. Gary Owen was the 7th Calvary's song. I think that was the tune Custer had played when he ran into Crazy Horse up in Montana.

Keith, I've got an ethnic version of this: I call it "Gary Cohen". Somehow, I don't think Custer would have played it on Little Big Horn! Image
