To all interested readers: I am also in the process of researching Civil War music for a song book I am putting together. Some of the music I have been introduced to recently as a Civil War reenacto includes Kent Courtney's "Garryowen", the Second South Carolina String Band's "Southern Soldier" and songs of the Civil War by Various artists. Jerry Silverman's Folk Song Encyclopedia Volumes 1 & 2 has been a splendid resource. And the Civil War Midi web site was quite helpful. Reenacting in A Union Regular regiment has been an education. As one correapondent stated, literally thousands of songs were sung in that period. Some that I haven't seen mentioned but never the less popular; "The girl I left behind me", "The minstrel boy", and of course "Hard times" by Stephen Foster. Soldiers on both sides modified that one to a tune called "Hard Tack" with the same music and modified lyrics. PLease contact me at writer@a-znet.com if I can be of assistance or if you come across any more neat information, Neil
