“many of these secessionists went east to fight for the confederacy”
Leaving California ahead of the rush. :)
Concert is tomorrow night!
They didn't play "Lorena," but they did play a number of popular songs, including ""If Youve Only Got a Mustache" (1864), "Marching Through Georgi" (1865)and "The Telegraph Quick Step" (1858), which featured a telegraph key as a musical instrument. They also played "Dixie" and closed with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Thanks for announcing that concert on FR. Otherwise, I would never have known about it. That band certainly has talent—they can sing as well as play.
I also enjoyed meeting you—one of the few Freepers I have ever met in person.
A pleasure meeting you as well. I’ll be putting up pix on the website this week.
