@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand yes, time marches on. But the awesome thing is your music will stay with everyone for a very very long time. Thank you for that!
All my years of Civil War reenacting... there are so many wonderful memories, but my favorite times were around the music and "pards" around the campfires or gatherings of the musicians and the characters of each and everyone of us. Great times! They "Rock the house" wherever they play! Namaste.
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand You all are always a wonderful sight to see and hear. Looking forward to a new reenacting year and hearing you all doing your thing! Take care! Got to get me a new CD of yours! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.
قرأت تعليقات متعددة تقول ان هذه موسيقى الحرب الاهلية ! اكيد ليست عندي ادنى خلفية تاريخية عن الموضوع , لكنني كانسان عادي ارقص وافرح مع هذا الاداء المبهج . شكرا لكم
He says: "I read multiple comments saying that this is civil war music! Of course, I do not have the slightest historical background on the subject, but as an ordinary person, I dance and rejoice with this joyful performance. Thank you all." I say: "No, no ! THANK YOU !!! "لا، لا! شكرا لك !!! 😀
Music is the universal solvent. It does not respect fences or borders or time units. This music was around long long before the US Civil War. It actually can be traced back to Northern India if you go far enough--or just think of Ireland and Scotland. Our second US president Thomas Jefferson played these tunes on his fiddle. He called the founding of the United States "an experiment in democracy."
A great tune! It apparently dates from the 18th cent. in England, where it was found in the William Vickers Coll. of 1770 as a fiddle tune. That collection being compiled near Morpeth, Northumberland, it was also found ( as were other tunes) in the South of Scotland, where it might have originated.
THAT is a bunch of lads having a LARGE time and back when we all had some color in our hair................or maybe even some hair even. BLESSINGS Lads from up Hwy 11 way.
I draw a lot of inspiration from the music you guys play! I’m amateur accordion player and I love playing along to these old songs with you guys on a speaker! Just know that future generations will play these great tunes!
I just read the description of the song. I love Celtic music and I love learning the history of tunes that made their way across the pond and spread across America. Connie Dover’s CD, “The Wishing Well” is a great treatment of that subject. If you don’t know who she is, you should look up her music. I have 3 recordings from Scartaglen on my channel, and that’s a band she was in before going solo.
One of the basic tunes for Old Time music and contra dancing. I was a member of the "infamous" No Fooling String Band and we played this tune often. We made thousand of pennies from a CD we made and no one quit their day jobs 🙂
What a stunning melodi 🎶 music from the south always semper fi, i AM gonna see, gods and generals, and getysburg, dvd 📀, with my son Jimmi, thanks you All, you Are the Best People
Love it! What's the chance you guys know my friends from the Virginia Confederacy: Bill Graham and Elton Strong? I can't remember their regiment or unit. They are/were banjo playin' rebels.
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand I am really glad to hear that. I didn't know any of this existed till I found TH-cam. Great to know young people want to keep it going. Sea chanties have gotten big too.
Most people don't even know this song has lyrics because it's traditionally played as an instrumental fiddle number in bluegrass bands and just because of the joyous Melody if you really listen to the lyrics they allude too pain and addiction
Figure 160 years ago the men had no way to communicate quickly with family and friends from deployment, nor electronic music. They had to be their own morale system and livening up a dreary song could do it.

I did a few civil war reenactments and that led me into finding this band, so glad I did.

One of my most favorites!!!
fine tune pard ... reminds me of sitting around the camp fire with may reenacting friends. *LIKED* the video
Thanks, friend ! Glad you liked the vibe. That was the plan from the start.
Despite the sad undertones, this is one of my favorite tunes! Also one of my favorites to whistle. :)
Two great songs in one day! Thank you so much! Keep it up. Regards from the UK. Bob
Like this band，This band let me know how wonderful the traditional folk songs are

You fellas ever make it down to Florida for the Olustee reenactment?
Nope. Sadly, we never did. Never got an invite. Too late now.
Actually, _Soldier's Joy_ is a tragic lament of pain and addiction. You'd never know that from this version.

When was this filmed
Labor Day weekend, 1999, in Gettysburg PA.
How I wish I could go back in time and get some of that $0.25 morphine
Hi
25 cents for the morphine......damn inflation
c'est pour la kershaw brigade ça, je transmets à qui de droit , War Of Rights best game ever 1st sergeant Baboulinet, Lfl regiment. 🥰
So fine. Each of you obviously is a reincarnated Confederate soldier from the 1860's.
