What a great idea, Bob.
While I liked both versions I liked the cellists a bit more. :-)))
This song, known by many as the “Fiddle Player's National Anthem” is very close to my heart in that my great uncle---Ervin T Rouse wrote it.
This first version is a traditional rendition of the song. The second? Well---like the cellists did above----this group changed the instrumentation a bit drastically.
Here's the before version.
Here is the after version.
