Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for keeping traditional music alive and well. There are those who won't understand the importance of maintaining it's history, but therein lies the danger of history being repeated.
You guys are the best! I'm 16, I've been listening to your songs since I was like 12. Your music has inspired me to learn more about the American Civil War and life in the 1800s. Thank you sooo much!
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand maybe "sir"? I was going to say "guys" but i thought it was no serious, you are adult men, not guys. Just referring to adult men hahaha
Absolutely love the song! I have listened to it so many times on your albums, and to hear it “live” was quite the experience! By the way, love how you sped up the song at the end! Thank you so much for yet another fantastic video.
Thanks, History Boy ! Good to hear from you again ! The end part is an early to mid-century old-time piece 'Angeline THE Baker' (guess they forgot the words...). :O)
I don't know, guys, I love your music, I can't say why. It just stirs something in me, awakens something that's been missing. Something that's been long buried. I think the wonderful sense of community is a part of it. Thank you.
This is wonderful! I’m a reenactor, and a fiddle player, but they shut down our civil war re-enactment years ago :( I miss the hoop skirts, and the music. I’d LOVE to play music with people, like you folks, who are keeping traditional music alive! Nobody really does here. I’ll have to go down south sometime, I’ve family in Alabama. Greetings from Illinois! And thank you :)
I'm from Russian, but i love American Civil war, read a lot about it and so love listening you're music and... I bought Dixie Flag, not battle flag of Dixie, just Dixie National Flag)
Great. You mentioned Kenny Hall and the SW Band - I remember them! Their banjoist Ron Tinkler told me Kenny learned some songs from old 78s - and had such perfect pitch he'd tell which string player had which string out of pitch. And he could NOT play any song in a different key than its standard key!
@@lazylili3699 I first heard 'Angeline' on a playlist audio-cassette of mid-19th century songs and melodies assembled by one of our former members. It practically set my hair on fire ! HAD to learn it - and tack it onto the Foster song. WINNER ! Very glad to hear you enjoy them !!! Thanks for your comment !
I really appreciate the fact that you recognized it could be offensive to some people. In my opinion, these kinds of songs should be played without ignorance to the context they were written in, and I am happy that you understand this. Thanks for keeping this history alive!
Yes, but not with Ranger Matt. We played at the Eternal Flame monument 3 times during the 150th years, I think. Don't really remember who invited us, but we were kind of a 'fixture' around Gettysburg from 1996 (when the band's leader, Joe Ewers, moved into an 1827 log farm house there that had been the HQ for Albert Jenkins, during the battle, thus giving the band claim to a 'Gettysburg Address' for 14 years) to 2010. We played many events at the battlefield, including the installation of the last two statues to be erected in the park - the Longstreet Memorial, and the 11th Mississippi monument, besides playing at other locations for the muster.
Always glad to see history being preserved and told/sung! Love you guys always peps me up and gets my feet ready to pound the floor in the beat of the song.
I have a little song booklet that includes this great song, but it doesn't include the fun breakdown at the end! I guess I'll just have to listen to you guys play it a whole bunch so I can figure it out, oh no, what torture! XD GREAT playing!
And that's just the way I learned it - by listening - to a band called 'Kenny Hall and the Sweets Mill String Band' (avail fm iTunes). They called it "AngeLINE THE Baker', and just repeated the name over and over for the verses. We reasoned that once the original minstrel tune retreated back into the 'hollers and valleys' of the Ozarks, Blueridge, and Appalachian mountains with the Confederate veterans that learnt and loved them at close of the war, they simply kept the melody and forgot the words. We decided to combine the two - minstrel and old-time - and use the combination as a 'teaching tool' during our performances (besides - it's a really KICKASS treatment... and fun to play). Good luck to you in your effort and thanks for the comment and kind word !!!
I wonder if this tune was made for the birth of Matilda Emaline Baker. She was born in 1852 on the 12th of November in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.

You shouldn't care if your music offends knee-jerk liberal types, for two reasons: 1. The kinds of people who would take offense to your music are the kinds of people who would seldom ever listen to your music anyway. 2. There's nothing you can say, no apologies you can make that will appease them. They are convinced that your music is r*cist or offensive or whatever, and nothing will change their minds, nor will they ever not be offended by it. So ignore them. We here know that your music is awesome, and that's all that matters. Keep doing what you love, 2nd South Carolina. Godspeed.
You must not watch many music videos. If you did , you might notice that the cameras tend to focus mostly on the singer and those immediately adjacent to him. Not so much on the keyboard, drummer, etc. Just 'the nature of the beast', I'm afraid. They're always bitching about it too.
I'd agree most the time, but with some of these songs, as brilliant as they may be, it can be helpful to contextualize the time and place that the music came from, just in case there's anyone in the audience that is unfamiliar with the history. That said, no one should be stopped from playing historically important songs like this out of fear of not being "politically correct".
Thanks, Tim, but sadly there will be no more reenactments for us, I'm afraid. Father Time has caught us and we have collectively 'dropped the mic' and left the stage. Furthermore, as Dylan (Bob, not Thomas) once put it so long ago (when we were young): "The times, they are a-changing..."
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Very sad to hear that. You guys have made quite a few amazing pieces of music. I wish you all the best. Long live the south!
Sadly, not if you expect to see us there... Plus, once the 'dust' of the new Biden admin has settled, perhaps we'll get a glimpse at what to expect in the way of 'cancelling' of anything Confederate. I'm assuming you are aware that elements on the left have already mentioned removal of ALL references to Confederate forces on National Battlefield Parks such as Gettysburg. Little traction to date, but who knows a little down the line... ?
