An amazingly powerful song and your rendition really touched me. I’m not sure what the original is like (probably polished up a lot in studio) but your live version is special. And sometimes history related in song is more impactful than from a book.

[Kitman]

Thanks very much @bugmeist for taking the time to view the post and for your kind words of support and encouragement. I truly appreciate it!

[Truckin-On]

I live in Leslie GA, about 10 miles from Andersonville. This may be the first time I’ve heard this song. It’s one I’d like to learn.

You did it justice.

[Kitman]

Hi @Mike-F and thank you for watching the post as well as for your feedback and encouragement. Have you visited the Andersonville Prison? I understand it is an historical site that has been preserved for all to learn about it. The song is a good one for sure. It is on Dave Alvin’s Blue Blvd album. I will send you a link to the chord sheet in an email message. Happy playing!

[Mike-F]

I’ve been there several times. It’s a National historic site and park. I know all the stories and history of Andersonville. If you’re interested in Civil War history, Andersonville holds a dark place in that history. Starvation, disease and cruelty were the norm there. As with all good stories there is a tale of triumph too.

I’m just getting started with my guitar journey but I’ve decided I need to learn that song. Hopefully I can give it the same touch you have and express the emotion of it as well as you have. Someday I will go to Andersonville and play it for the ghosts.

[Kitman]

That would be a very special performance to play the song at Andersonville @Mike-F .

[Marquita]

Kitman, this is amazing! I love how you have continually improved over time – it shows determination! If I was a guy, this is definitely a song I’d want on my set list…Thanks for sharing it!

[Kitman]

Thanks very much @Marquita fir viewing the post as well as for your feedback, support and encouragement! Thanks also for noting the progress in my playing. My theme this 90 days is to focus on note accuracy and tone quality. Although I still have a bobble or two I can hear the difference. Hope you are doing well!

[Marquita]

Kitman, Your humility touches me. Realize that your ‘Bobble” is better than most players view their perfection. But it’s no reason to stop reaching for “Better”.

Hope to hear you again soon!

I love historically based songs. This is a heartfelt and honest one and you performed it well. Thank you for sharing. Today 2/1 is the day Texas seceded from the Union. What a sad state of affairs was 1861.

[Kitman]

Thanks @albert_d for watching the post and for your feedback and encouragement. I also like historically based songs as they always tell a good story. Yes, 1861 marks a tumultuous time in Americas history.
