Cool tune by Todd Silverstein (Portland, OR-based whistle, bouzouki and sax player with the Portland Megaband). He wrote it about 1985 after hosting the band La Bottine Souriante (which BTW means "smiling boot")

What tune book are you playing out of?

Oof... back from 2019?! ... I'd been given a stack of sheet music and photocopies from various books, collected over a decade and without a lot of context. I spent 2018/19 reading through that stack to get my fingers working...

Is there a particular music book you are playing from? I’d love to find the sheet music for this

You can find this tune in a book, The Portland Collection 1 - by Susan Songer.

Nice job on this tune . You are a hell of a player . Have been looking for the name of this tune for ages . A mentor of mine played this tune on an old cassette in the early 80’s with my dad when I was learning Shetland fiddle . Only problem when they recorded a slew of tunes , none of the names of the tunes were written down . So thanks so much for including McDowell’s Breakdown in your huge list of great tunes . 👍😊

Custer's favorite marching tune: ""Garryowen" is known to have been used by Irish regiments as a drinking song. As the story goes, one of the Irish "melting pot" troopers of the 7th Cavalry, under the influence of "spirits", was singing the song. By chance Custer heard the melody, liked the cadence, and soon began to hum the tune himself. The tune has a lively beat, that accentuates the cadence of marching horses, and for that reason was adopted as the regimental song soon after Custer arrived at Ft. Riley, Kansas to take over command of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. It was the last song played for Custer's men as they left General Terry's column at the Powder River and rode into history."

Hi Josh, I love your playing. Is there a way I can contact you to talk about doing a remote recording session of some of these tunes?
