Thread Name: ShoreGrass Songs of the Civil War Era
Subject: RE: ShoreGrass Songs of the Civil War Era
Money is definitely the least of it. Jerry, that was pretty funny on your other Gospel Messengers CD thread about the inquiry from Poland! I'm just thrilled every time a cd of mine is sold on cdbaby, and especially heartened that several buyers from the US south have bought it. I tried to make it a balanced perspective from both the north and confederate states, so hopefully it worked.
In any case, the musical experience of researching the songs was edifying for me personally. The part that nonetheless shocks and numbs is how relevant and fitting many of those war era songs are today and will unfortunately be tomorrow.
