Midchuck - I will send a tape next week to the Mudcat radio with the song ... hopefully they'll have it in time for the Wed 12/22 show.

I haven;t heard Barton/Para's music, yet. Someone just told me about them very recently, so I have not hyet had a chance to buy one of their CDs. I have a couple of Irish in the Civil War songs, and yes, I have rad quite a bit of that history. My own family arrived from Ireland shortly after the US Civil War, but my wife's old Yankee families (both sides) have personal histories from relative Yankee soldiers. I read James P. Gannon's Irish Rebels Confederate Tigers: The 6th Louisiana Volunteers. It was a wonderful book, and an inspiring story.
