Subject: RE: US Civil war songs - civil to sing them ?
awww... Lighter, that is not really a useful definition. Isn't whatever truth there is in it true of every country?
"Two nations"... ummm...that depends on what the topic of conversation is.
Yes, you CAN find a belligerent attitude from 'some' southerners on 'some' topics... and it may be different in Texas than it is in Mississippi or Georgia. And yes, there are songs that one might not sing in certain areas without disclaimer or pre-clearing from the hosts. I assume the same situation exists in other countries.
The band mentioned above sings ALL the songs...and they explain why. If you were going to perform in Georgia, you might ask if there are any local 'rules'.
