This song has such meaning for me. When I was 20 years old I came home from Vietnam. The US Navy Band was playing this song for us as we returned in Norfolk Virginia. I had lost 23 friends and was wounded myself. When I was granted leave to go home, there was nothing other than the welcome home from my family. The general public seemingly despised us. Period. The only return I remember is the playing of this song. It moves me to this day.
Thanks for your service, Soldier (Marine, I'm guessing?). And thanks for leaving such a moving comment (and subscribing !!). Nothing means more to us in the band than to hear kind words from the real troops. God bless and be well !
So many Johnnys didn’t come home. And yes, our nation turned their backs on its homecoming ones. Think of the grief of parents and families of those who never came home, further made tragic by the indifference of their fellow Americans.
it's a shame that it even has to be explained. A long time friend of mine is named Gay and once in a while she meets an ignorant soul who doesn't comprehend having a name like that.
Yeah I know that, but wish it didn’t mean what they are trying to make it mean, and the rainbow now it’s a symbol of being gay, but it actually means God will never flood the Earth again.
I am guessing by the 'Irish song' you actually mean the 1867 English music hall parody called 'Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye' - originally played on stage for comic effect.
When I was playing with the 52nd Regimental String Band this tune was one of our encore tunes at the end of the concert. Sadly, our conductor (Greg Todd) passed away 10 years ago next month. I really miss those days. Thanks very much for continuing the traditional music. I plan on attending the event at Shiloh in April. Perhaps, you all will be booked and attend also. Thanks again, and good luck!

Keep up the great work guys! Happy 4th and stay safe and keep playing. I am actually reading The adventures of Huckleberry Finn right now and I love the book thought I would share this because it is sourhern.
Have you all ever made high-quality instrumental versions of your music? We will be needing good, slow, instrumental music for background music for videos in our Civil War video series. I would be very interested in knowing if you have ever done this before.
who is the maker of that beautiful large tambourine that your percussionist plays? they seemed popular back in the 1800s based on the art and photos of the period I've seen, but modern makers are few and far between it would appear

Aye, that is was. It had been advertised as being our last live concert - possibly ever. The following year's Gettysburg event (156th) was completely unexpected at the time - and it was the last of its kind after a 25 year run. Too bad. "Progressive"" PC/Cancel Culture...
The confederacy always followed the constitution. Slavery would have ended like europe over time peacefully. The union victory is why America is on its death bed now . Dixie is my homeland though in exile thousands of miles away.
Such BS if they had actually followed the Constitution the very first line in the Constitution says that all men are created equally in the eyes of God therefore and also the Bible condemned slavery so the Constitution condemns slavery and the Bible condemned slavery and yet they still insisted upon using slave labor and then even after slavery was legally abolish the South institutionalized racism Jim Crow laws sharecropping to further economically enslaved black people your comment is simply incorrect the fact of the matter is is that white people loved free labor and they would make any excuse to have free or close to Free Labor just like we're letting millions of poor desperate Brown Latino people into this country to enslave them as well the soil of this country is red with blood of the innocent and enslaved and genocide plain and simple no you had nothing to do with this neither did I I'm not mad at you nor am I seeking revenge or punishment I'm just stating simple facts😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
