Topical Tom-

And I'll be interested in whatever else you can dig up, some of which has been buried for years in old threads here at Mudcat.

One of my mentors Bill Bonyun collaborated with folksong collector Frank Warner to produce a recorded title THE CIVIL WAR, © Heirloom records, 1961. Some of my favorite cuts included:

The Union Volunteer
Shiloh's Hill
Riding a Raid
The Vacant Chair
The Old Unreconstructed Rebel (a variant of the original song composed by a member of General J.E.B. Stuart's staff.)

I have the original insert that went with this album which has the full lyrics and notes.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
