Very nice!

I want to do this some day, but I do not know of any active groups in the Mississippi area. I have seen a reenactor band at the Civil War park in Vicksburg, but I think they were from Alabama or Louisiana. Oh, well. I would look pretty stupid in one of those uniforms, too, at my girth. Perhaps it would inspire me to lose weight? Whatever. I really enjoy these groups. I need to get an instrument from that era, fix it up and learn to play it really well. What a hoot! Thanks for posting this.

If reenactments are more popular in certain states I can well imagine why it would be so.

We have a lot of reenactor units here in the area (both CSA and USA) but no bands, so far as I know. The gift shop at the park sells recordings of some reenactor band, but I have no idea which one. All I remember about this CD was that it was by a band up north. (Heck, it may have been by this one for all I know.)

There is an excellent group in Huntsville, AL. Don’t know of any currently in Mississippi...
