Todays free download from David Grismans Acoustic Oasis site is El Cumbanchero played by the David Grisman Quintet.
El Cumbanchero was made popular as a bluegrass tune by Jesse McReynolds if I am right. I have learned this tune from a Jesse McReynolds book and a Jesse McReynolds recording long time ago.
I have found several great videos with Jim & Jesse playing El Cumbanchero, and also a video with the David Grisman Quintet.
