Dear Hannah This song Ashokan Farewell at a Civil War Reenactment would be somewhat "farby" (reenactment vernacular for unauthentic/anachronistic). There is so much wonderful and neglected music from the 19th century I have to ask why people (like Burns) insist on grafting modern facsimiles and give the impression that it is "authentic." For those who count on research input from TV, Radio and weekend folk festival you can count also on general misrepresentation. Sadly, now, everyone misses out; on the true richness of our own heritage.
