Today and tomorrow is the 138th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Here's "Garryowen" in honor of Custer's troopers lost in this battle. Garryowen, an old Irish tune, was the regimental song of the Seventh Cavalry. Many in that regiment were Irishmen.
A rousing song!

My first thought was about Garry Owens from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.
