Yiannis and Kostas in Greece performing an old traditional murder ballad,one of their favorite old time ballads.

(from Wikipedia):
"Down in the Willow Garden", also known as "Rose Connelly" is a traditional Appalachian murder ballad about a man facing the gallows for the murder of his lover: he gave her poisoned wine, stabbed her, and threw her in a river.It originated in the 19th century, probably in Ireland, before becoming established in the United States.The lyrics greatly vary among earlier versions, but professional recordings have stabilized the song in a cut-down form.First professionally recorded in 1927, it was made popular by Charlie Monroe's 1947 version, and it has been recorded dozens of times since then.

Guitars:2015 Bagnasco&Casati J-45 and 2007 Bourgeois Country Boy Deluxe.
