Blue Eyed Boston Boy (Two Soldiers)
from Flatpicker Hangout Top 20 Old-Time Songs · host D-35_Picker
I got this song from Norman Blake, maybe on one of his Blake/Rice albums. Very sad, traditional Civil War song, but one of the most beautiful melodies, in my opinion. Lots of folks have done it, including Dylan, Garcia, Julie Miller, etc. Me on my D35 and singing, though not much true flatpicking in it. Rough recording with a poor computer mic.
