Far, far from home

by 2nd South Carolina String Band Other, Lion Heart Film Works Other

"Music and camp scenes of the War Between the States." Video of the 2nd South Carolina String Band playing period camp songs on period instruments in an authentic Civil War camp setting. Taped live on location in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. From the DVD case: "This video opens a window in time that will magically transport you back to the summer of 1863...You are standing in the wooded camp of a company of Confederate infantry. You experience the sights and sounds of Civil War camp life as the men try to enjoy an all-too-brief respite from the rigors of a vigorous campaign-you are far, far from the comforts of home and family. Suddenly, hauntingly, emerging from the clatter of camp life, you hear the unmistakable sound of a banjo picking out the first few tentative notes of a familiar old refrain-the boys are getting our their instruments. Hurrah, boys! It's music tonight!..."
