SORM Playlist #15-13: The Civil War In Song
(airing the week starting 3-25-15)
Shortly we will all be inundated with recordings and TV documentaries commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House. The American Civil War has contributed some wonderful historical songs and tunes to the American Songbag. This week we’ll feature some of my favorites from both sides of the Mason Dixon Line. Including some songs dedicated to the Irish Fighting 69th. The Civil War in Music on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine..
