This was the very first song I learned to play on my piccolo back in the early 70's. I hadn't heard it in a LOT of years, and it was a pleasure to hear it again. Makes me want to pick the piccolo back up. Thanks for posting.
This is such a great pop song, more popular today than when it was first a big hit. It turned out ta be, by coincidence, the perfect marching/riding/cavalry melody, tune and/or beat best suited for natural rhythms of marching horses and men. It fits like a glove, but then too, to have the gary owen be the regimental song for an unbroken line of generations now of usa 7th cavalry is very fit, good and great - i could dance to it if i could dance. I think many Indian musicians, like buffy st marie, have even started singing it at annual pow woes, but it doesnt sound like this version at all, yet still sounds superb, translated successfully across ethnic lines; blending, melting, changing, progressing, as usual, only in america.

This was my favorite ringtone on my phone… I had recorded it myself just for that purpose. I was sad when my phone had to be replaced and I could not transfer the ringtone over to the new one….
General Custer was a hero,of this there's no question, that's taking nothing away from the Indians they had every right to do what they did, but Custer was a good and faithful soldier, times were different then, he did what he had to do
Truth, Rocky. Most are unfamiliar with his Civil War record, and that he was just doing exactly as directed by President Grant. I wonder how many of these armchair warriors would succeed on such rolling terrain and difficulty in communications.
Just think, this was the last thing most of the Lakota heard at Washita. All because the bugle had frozen and they couldn't signal charge. So, Custer had them play his favorite song "Garry Owen" on fife and drum to signal charge!!!!

When I visited the Battle of the Little Bighorn I swear I could hear the screaming of horses and this tune faintly in the background. I haven't been back.
When I visited the battlefield I too felt the ghosts from both sides. I heard that fife and drum as it played in my head. I tracked its ancestry and came up with its history. A regiment lives forever.
I am a Native American Veteran. I remember one day in Battalion March, I heard this music and I didn't salute the flag as it passed by me. The Battalion XO saw me and wanted to Court-martial me. But my Platoon Sergeant, Platoon Leader, Company CO, and Company XO told the Battalion CO, to do nothing and that they would rather follow me as an E-4 into combat, and the Battalion CO, the Colonel told his staff to put me on leave at 0001 hours that next day or I was going to be Court-martialed and I took 30 days leave, haven't been home for 3 years... I was sorry I put my command structure in jeopardize ... This was more than fifty years ago and yes, I still hate this music... What can I say, honestly?
The Brigade Commander told us to "Hold the line, boys! Hold the line!! I'll return with the Brigade!!" For 2 long days and nights we held the line against a ferocious and determined enemy, when at dawn on the third day as the enemy massed for one last attack, from our rear we heard the sound of Fife and drum. The Brigade had returned!!!

What country do you live in? Just trying to figure out if it's an issue of ignorance (not meant in a bad way), or lack of concern due to not being a US citizen.
Thank you. I’m one of the snare drummers in this fife and drum corp. we are based out of Northern California. Not many of us left anymore. Some died, some moved away some just don’t play much anymore. We were at our best during these recordings.
Got to agree. I respect the modern US Army in large part because they'd refuse to ride out to slaughter a bunch of women and children. Celebrating Big Horn is just weird.
Tamlan Dipper That same argument could used against the natives, who were just as brutal against other tribes. So “woke” praising the natives, on a civil war Garry Owen March video.
It’s ok to criticize Custer, because, he was not supposed to be doing some of that. That he did not do even a quarter of what the Indians did on their raids is not the point. Man is pretty much the same the world over. Some have found something better, and those are worse in one way, and one way only. They are worse, because it is their business to be better.
This would sound great, played with full fife and drum, at the head of a column of U.S. troops marching through Red Square in Moscow. There at the invitation of the government of the Federal Republic of Russia, to celebrate Russia’s joining NATO. Unlikely? I saw something like it a few years ago in Berlin. Great tune!
yep yep. When Irish settlers came tot eh US they often found signs that said, "HELP WANTED Inquire within. NINA" which stood for "No Irish Need Apply". There was a fear and hatred of Irish. One of the few places Irish were guaranteed a job was out west in the Cavalry. Custer heard some of the Irish Cavalrymen singing this song around the campfire and the rest is history.
The 69th and 7th are two completely different regiment of the United States Army who happen to share the same march. The 69th, an infantry regiment, had it first. The 7th is a cavalry regiment.
ITS OURS TOO BUT U PINCHED IT IT THE 17,[/ 21 LANCERS SCOTS GREYS AND BLUES WELSH REGS AND IRISH GUARDS A TUNES WE PINCED FROM THE JERRYS WAS LILE OF MARLINE 8TH ARMY
At Washita, Custer and 700 men of the 7th Cavalry crept up on an unsuspecting native American village and played “Garryowen” to signal the start of the battle before plunging into the village and destroying everything and everybody around them. Up to 100 men, women, and children were massacred.
Cav Troopers are a different breed. Usually made up of Texans, Okies and some Kansans Who grew up playing Cowboys and Indians. The 7th’s Bravery comes from Custer himself. A true ‘White Warrior’. If you as a Private see your General Leading every charge it does something special. Custer had quite a few horses shot out from under him. At Little Bighorn, many Indian Warriors say he Died laughing. And by the way, I hope someday Custer will stop being made out to be someone he wasn’t. Lies, Lies, Lies. Told to you by who? TV Programming and Leftist College Professors. What he did at Gettysburg is why Our Union Won that war. If he hadn’t gave been there, Jen Stuart and his 6,000 Cavalrymen would have had a field day on the Yanks. Pickets Charge certainly never would have happened and boom. We’re the Confederate States of America.
6,000 cavalry attacking entrenched positions uphill doesn't sound like a game changer to me. Cavalry in the Civil War was used for skirmishing, foraging, and reconnaissance. The days of charges against infantry died with the wide adoption of rifled small arms. Pickett's Charge was going to happen regardless, the cavalry fighting started at the same time as the artillery bombardment on the Union center. J.E.B. Stuart was deployed to attack retreating Union forces after a successful Pickett's Charge. Obviously, Lee's gamble was not as rewarding as he had estimated.
Chorus: A Scottish song associated with Clan Campbell. The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro! (repeat) The Campbells are coming to bonnie Lochleven The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro! Verses: Upon the Lomonds I lay, I lay, (repeat) I lookit down to bonnie Lochleven And saw three perches play-hay-hay! The Great Argyll he goes before, He makes the cannons and guns to roar, With sound o'trumpet, pipe and drum, The Campbells are coming, Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro! The Campbells they are a' in arms, Their loyal faith and truth to show, With banners rattling in the wind, The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro![3]
That's the Campbells are Coming, not Garryowen. They are very different songs. Listen to Garryowen being played by the Pipes and Drums of the an Irish Regiment and Campbells being played by a Scottish Regiment and you will hear how different they are.

And all because he couldn't spell 'Connecticut'.
That sounds about right. Although is it Irish or Scottish?
Any ideas?

It's actually Garryowen, from a place in Ireland of the same name - or in Irish Garraí Eoin, which means "John's garden".
The site of a 12th Century Knights Templar church dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
It`s in Limerick.

The 7th’s Bravery comes from Custer himself. A true ‘White Warrior’. If you as a Private see your General Leading every charge it does something special. Custer had quite a few horses shot out from under him.
