I'd have to say that is pretty much my top 10 as well. Did you ever notice that the South's music seems to be a little me lively than the Northern tunes?

I like Bonnie Blue Flag and that slow mellow version of Battle Cry of Freedom that's in Ken Burns's Civil War film. Last edited on Wed Sep 17th, 2008 09:10 pm by The Iron Duke ____________________ "Cleburne is here!" meant that all was well. -Daniel Harvey Hill |

Can't get much better than the Norman Luboff Choir's version of the Battlecry of Freedom. Still gives me prickles. It's version of "Dixie" doesn't cut it. Dixie ought to be a lively tune. ole

Really like the CD I bought in New Salem of Songs of Lincoln. I think several people in the group bought copies. Talk about chills Ole, a good verison of Battle Hymn of the Republic does that for me.

WARNING! There is a worm out there plaguing the social sites. One of the keys is "Your Adobe is Outdated. Click here to download the latest version." From an article in a recent issue of Computer World.

Don't know enough about puters to comment, Pvt. Son posted that it was on Facebook and My Page and a few other social sites. Apparently, when you click on that download thing, you expose yourself and all of your listed "friends" to the hackers and then they can get into your computer and files and such. It is probably best, if your installed Adobe is not the latest version, to go to Adobe directly instead of through a link. I don't know nothing about birthing no babies. Ole

My wife's computer got infected with that a couple of weeks ago and I found that a free download of Malware is your friend. It is a very nasty worm too, someone did a nice job of creating that thing. Too bad such talent wasn't put to a better purpose.

It was written by a lying abolitionist wench. The tune had its beginnings as a camp-meeting song with a "Glory Hallelujah" refrain by William Steffe, written about 1856. This tune was in turn used for what became the Union marching song, "John Brown’s Body." John Brown was a terrorist. Fellow abolitionist of Julia Ward Howe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said John Brown made "the gallows as glorious as the Cross." I have no respect for the woman who wrote it or the the man who inspired it. The words to it are taken from Biblical text mainly based on "The Judgement" by our Lord in the last days, but Howe is insinuating His judgement on the South. I cringe when my church sings this song knowing that just outside in the cemetery lies Confederate soldiers, my ancestors, whom Howe hated and believed that they should feel "the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword." This is how I hate the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Thanks Dixie Girl. I'm probably not as "pirate" as you think. Ha Ha. I just take a common sense approach to the conflict. I've been accused of being a neo-confederate but I'm not that at all. I don't fit in with the "keep it flying crowd". (Realize that I am not accusing you of this, just stating my stance) I like to consider myself a dedicated student of The Conflict. I have an eclectic view of the war. For example I think the idea of "states rights" is over played and I like William Techumseh Sherman. On the other hand I reject even the notion that the Civil War was a moral crusade to end slavery and refuse to accept the continual insistence by the "everyday historian" to beat that into our heads. My take is slavery caused secession, and secession caused the Civil War. But what the war was fought over becomes blurred beyond recognition. To really know why the war was fought we would have to be able to know why each individual went to war and that is impossible. Walt Whitman said "...the real war will never get into the books." I believe this is true. We'll never know for sure why and how? We just have to remember.

Savez: I am not aware of Ms. Howe's history of lying or promiscuity, please enlighten me.

Okay I'll retract my "lying" statement and replace it with "hypocritical". As far as the wench part goes? Well, I guess that was a little harsh. But I still don't like the woman.

Why do you call her a hypocrite ? She seems to have had strong convictions and stayed true her whole life to those convictions.
