On the evening before an anticipated dawn battle a young soldier writes home expressing his fear of what he portends will be the outcome. Janice: vocals floyd jane: harmony vocals Tom Adams: acoustic guitar Bud: Mix Video:https://youtu.be/3P37laVMvu4
We write and record simply for the joy of it.
Story behind the song
See the video at: https://youtu.be/3P37laVMvu4
We have a long standing interest in our local Civil War history and spent years researching the troop movements and engagements in our area. During General Sherman’s March To The Sea (November, 1864) thousands of his troops camped less than a mile from our home on a friend’s property (that has been owned by his family since the 1850’s). We have walked the fields and woods of nearby skirmishes and small battles (often unmarked and poorly documented) while pondering the thoughts/conversations of soldiers as they sat around camp fires awaiting the next day. Such musings lead to the writing of this song
