Garryowen
Garryowen, also known as Garyowen, Garry Owen and Gary Owens, is an Irish dance tune (MIDI file) of the 1800s which became the marching tune for the 69th Infantry Regiment, New York Militia, (the famed "Fighting 69th" ) in the mid-1800's. The "Fighting 69th" adopted Garry Owen before the Civil War and recently brought it back to combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom
