In the Sweet By and By/Battle Cry of Freedom baritone dulcimer medley

Two nineteenth-century tunes played on a cherry/cedar baritone dulcimer made by Ron Gibson and tuned AEa. What do Joseph Webster's hymn and George Frederick Root's Civil War anthem have in common? Both melodies were used by labor martyr Joe Hill for songs eventually published in the Little Red Songbook. How's that for trivia? My version of "Battle Cry of Freedom" is based on tablature arranged by Neal Hellman and available in his Dulcimer Method published by Hal Leonard.
