This is a very haunting tune, written in the "Old Scottish Waltz Style"
Written in 1982 by Jay Unger. The song moved Ken Burns so much,
it was included in the music of The Civil War.
He also used it in the Documentary, "Howie Long"

and say what you will about the French, but they know how to light a fire. Don't worry if you don't know what the heck their saying.  You could say "Madamoiselle votre oreilles sont comme tetes de poisson" and she'll melt.

You really can't beat the simple intimacy of guitar and voice.

Unfortunately it's hard to find the best recordings of some of these songs on Youtube.
