Sergeant Early's Dream - another setting

Love this tune. My version is fairly different. Mostly the Kathleen Collins version with a bit of Paddy Canny's and Randal Bay's settins tossed in for flavor.

Cheers,
Ken

Here's a sound clip of solo fiddle (me) playing Sgt. Early's Dream--nothing fancy, just a quick take on the tune: http://www.soundlantern.com/UpdatedSoundPage.do?ToId=3599&Path=SergeantEarly%27sDreama.mp3
