"Garry Owen", also known as "Garyowen", "Garryowen" and "Gary Owens", is an Irish tune for a quickstep dance. It was selected as a marching tune for British, Canadian, and American military formations, most notably Gen. George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry. The word garryowen is derived from Irish, the proper name Eóin (an Irish form of John) and the word for garden garrai – thus "Eóin's Garden". A church dating to the 12th century by the Knights Templar, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is the source of the modern area of Garryowen in the city of Limerick, Ireland. Owen's Garden, overlooking the River Shannon was a fashionable retreat and recreational area for the citizens of Limerick. I play this tune in a medley with one or more of the following:       "The Boys of Wexford"       "The Flowers of Edinburgh"       "The Irish Washerwoman"       "Scotland the Brave".
