Genre: Traditional / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
Though important historically as the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, the song is important to me as a useful lesson in learning melodic style. I used Tony Trischka's Melodic Banjo book.

Yeah Janet, a good rendition to pool from for sure. Has a few more embellished notes than most. Good singin speed. Candenced well, kinda like a march. Smooth delivery!
