Loved the songs!!!!!!!
The same sadness that you feel as you listen is the one that I always felt and that was shared with me when my mother's family spoke of the Civil War.
I grew up with that ache in the heart that comes to you from listiening.
Barely alive is how the men came home battered beyond belief with hollow eyes and tired spirits.
I know enough old stories to know that to be true.
Thanks-
