Rick: i've walked grave yards but for me battlefields are also places to confer with those gone on. It is always special to me to participate in the annual re-enactment of the battle of Cedar Creek for that reason. The re-enactment is held on the actual battlefields and I make it a point to walk (Respectfully of course) through the Belle Grove plantation house. The house is reputed to be haunted. It is also the place where General Stephen Ramseur died as a result of his wounds. The Confederate general was a classmate and good friend of Gen. Custer who would suffer a similar fate twelve years later in the wilds of Montana. I played Taps and Amazing Grace at Cedar Creek. Both bring tears to my eyes each time I play them. How about the other mudcatters? Any input? Neil
