Great stuff, thanks. Farewell to Longhollow was one of my early tunes learned. In order to play it I had to strip out 'bout half the notes. Your post brought this back to mind and now I'll have to revisit this and see how many of those notes I can put back! Thanks again.

Curley Maple - great name!

Great playing, David.
I partially learned Monroe's Farewell to Longhollow from a James Bryan recording. You've inspired me to go back and finish the job!

Thank you all so much....I learned this tune from a James Bryan recording too. He is such a great fiddler, he gave me a few quick lessons at some festivals back in the mid 1970's. A very kind person.
The Elzik's inspiration came from a Sheila Kay Adams recording. She did a medley of The Young Hunting / Elzik's Farewell. John Doyle played rhythm guitar on the track. John's guitar playing blows me away !!
