      Greetings from Russia! I love this musical group and have been listening to it for a long time in illegal recordings :) I'm a fan of the Confederacy in general, I even make cigar box guitars myself with the symbols of the southern states.

    I've got family that were both Union and Confederates and I can say with great pride after visiting most of the states I am proud where we come from. Before the times of the civil war most of my family came from Scotland and Ireland. There is a distinct Celtic sound to this music and it really brings my spirits up!

    Fans of sea shanties will notice that this tunes is very similar to the shanty "Sacramento". My theory for this is that Foster, and the sailors took inspiration from a common tune.

    • @2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand
      @2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What 'common' tune would that be ? Inquiring minds want to know...

    • @SamH379
      @SamH379 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBandThe theory to this is that the shanty Banks of the Sacramento and Foster's Camptown Races were each inspired by some plantation work song. I don't think this tune has a name that's lasted throughout history, but if you give a listen to a version of the shanty, the tune and chorus are very similar.
      To paraphrase from Stan Hugill's "Shanties from the Seven Seas" (a well-used book for shanty history), that for Camptown Ladies, Foster took the tune for its chorus from the English ballad, Ten Thousand Miles Away (and I do see the resemblance there!), but Hugill suggests that it was sailors who mixed a plantation song with a sea song to create Sacramento, which then at some point Foster heard. Chronologically, this all works too. Camptown Races came out in 1850 and Sacramento is about the gold rush of '49.
      I hope you find this all as interesting as I do!

    The song celebrates a carriage race between Camp town and Wyalusing, Pennsylvania. I've driven the route, it is five miles. Steven Foster was documented to be in the area shortly before writing the song.

    Wow! An ensemble of folk musicians and historical archivists--don in Reconstruction-reenacted clothing, recollect the original sheet folklore: oh yeah, that Stephen Foster valley ballad - the way it was written, as supposed to be edited by musicologists, decades later for educational curricular.....stunning!! How many more recollections that Foster composed are somehow banned from listening nor being printed due to affront schism or impending racism?!
