Notes: This tune is related to traditional tunes of various names from the 19th century, including “Coming Down from Denver [on a Trip to Galaway”).. Bill Monroe has been quoted as saying the correct name is “Coming Down from Boston.” Byron Berline did a lovely recording of it on his album “Dad’s Favorites,” featuring an outstanding banjo break by Alan Munde. The tab is my interpretation of Munde’s break, which is typically elegant yet at the same time punchy.
