I do living history from around 1820 to 1900 depending on the venue. The period of the "War of the Rebellion" is a favorite. I have appeared as a Union soldier as well as Confederate depending on what was needed. Even a "galvanized Yankee" once. A fun time was as a Confederate prisoner under armed guard in a Union camp. I was forced to play tunes to improve moral for the troops. 19th century music is something I dearly enjoy. Rex
