Dicho,

Thanks for your suggestions. We have all the Stephen Foster and nearly all of the the tunes whose texts or titles deal specificially with the U.S. CW. The other titles are what really intrigue me at this point. I'm trhinking that folks in Gettysburg may be getting sick of some of those often-played tunes, although I suppose the tourists find them to be part of the battlefield atmosphere. Plus, our group wants to play something besides a CW program. My favorites are earlier Scots, English, Irish and American tunes/songs, in that order. But some of those were still popular, or existed in a different from in the 1860's.

Where did you find documentation of tunes played by the band in Gettysburg? Who were the spectators and where were they? We have various acounts of nurses and other townspeople here during the batle.

I'm reposting my list because it came through without the tune titles being separated. Thanks very much!! Beth
