Subject: RE: Civil War songs - Goober Peas
What a great thread! I'm currently putting together a Civil War song book for my reenacting pards. I had overlooked "Goober Peas" but will rectify that oversight. I always liked "All Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight." The regiment we recreate was raised in Fort Hamilton (Brooklyn) in May of 1861.(The 12th US Infantry) We made up a parody of "Just Before the Battle, MOther" That one day I may actually post just for giggles. Apparently, making up song parodies was a time honoured tradition even then (Hard Tack and The Siege of Vicksburg being two notable examples) Send me more Ideas here or at my e-mail writer@a-znet.com. (The second dot after com is the period by the way) Kindest reguards, Irish Sergeant (Neil)
