Here's a great link to a James Taylor/Yo-Yo Ma version of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More". I used to hate Civil War music back in my Civil War buff days, but thanks to the magic of YouTube I've been able to find interesting covers of some of the most iconic songs of the 1860's. It's nice to hear it sound so soulful when almost every Hard Times I ever heard before this year was precise and perfect and boring.
I'll be posting more on this blog soon. But in the meantime, buy my book here at Amazon.com, post a comment or two (or twelve if you'd like), and check back in a few days.
Cheers,
SS, The History Gal.
