I remember that night. It was sorta pleasant night (as pleasant as Cedar Creek gets) and y’all put on an amazing performance. This brought back so many memories of that event and many others. It also brings back memories of good pards who I’ve known for years who don’t take the field anymore or have passed on. These two songs bring me so much joy. God bless!
Wow. What a wonderfully kind thing to say, John. It WAS a very fine night, that year. Playing around the campfire was where we began in 1989, and has ever remained as our absolute favorite concert venue. Glad you were there; glad Hawkeye had the presence of mind to hand his camera to someone who knew how to use it; and really glad we're able to share it with you and any other 'good pards' still out there ! Seems especially fitting on Remembrance Day 2023...
Southerners are just like spartans, even though they eventually lost, the courage to stand and fight even though you may die for independence inspire millions to this day. The spirit of American revolution is coming back thanks to much southern sacrifice
Southern man through and through. Recently found out I'm kin to Lincolns Quartermaster and builder of Arlington cemetery Montgomery Meigs. His grandfather my 5th great grandfather is buried with him at Arlington.
My Dads family was all from Virginia and we had ancestors that fought in the Civil War. Our family were all Southern Sympathizer’s. My husband and I used to Re-enact and we just loved it. He would say that when you were out there on the battlefield it felt real. I wish we never stopped but the group we belonged to was very authentic, as we were but they started getting very strict and telling you when you could leave camp to visit the Sutlers and when you could and couldn’t do other things. They really started taking the fun out of it. I wanted us to keep doing it as civilians but my husband liked being a soldier in the Southern Army. So that never worked out. We miss it. We have seen your group play quite a few times, at Re-enactments and in Gettysburg. You are the very best. Thank you for bringing back many wonderful memories. You know what? The best time was after the public left and it was getting dark and the fires were started and a lot of women and men were making dinner. It was actually magical💫✨💫✨✨. Do you have an online store? I wanted to see if there were other CD’s I didn’t have or if you had any DVD’s. I was there once at Cedar Creek. Is that the one held in October? I can’t remember if it was there or another place, but it was so cold that I was awake all night because I could not get warm. It was so frosty in the morning. We love you guys. This was a great video. ❤
Yep. It could get pretty chilly out there in October... The nighttimes were the best times, for sure. Thanks for the very kind words ! We have 7 albums available (CDs or download) from iTunes, Amazon, & Spotify, to name the main ones.
I absolutely love the South, I may be from Illinois, but I would love to consider myself a virginia boy. I only wish more people can see how lively you make these songs. God bless you guys!
Well nobody does it better than you, these song so southern, i AM a Brit and love your songs, sipping bourbon 🥃 listning to you music 🤟 😊 😊 😊 😊 yeha, rebel yell
Gents. I have seen you do these two songs on UA-cam which were great. This rendition at night and around the camp fire was truly fabulous. Thanks for sharing! Regards from the UK. Bob
Love to hear the rebel yell a sound every southerner at some point or another should have the chance to belt out. Hurrah from here in the Old North State
Thank y’all for doing these great ol’ tunes and keepin that fire lit in our souls and keepin these tunes alive. I play the banjo and have yet to learn Southern Soldier but Dixie I know well. I’m a Louisiana born Arkansan and love y’all’s tunes thanks once again.
Sadly, no. Sorry to disappoint, but the only place you'll be able to see us 'in action' going forward, will be here on UA-cam. The band DIS-banded at the end of 2019, due to aging-out mostly. Most of us started together in 1989, when we were already in our mid-40's. The 'annoyances' of aging, PC/Cancel Culture and in late 2019, the restrictions of Covid all combined in a sort of perfect storm that made it clear the time had come for us to 'drop the mic’ and leave the stage... It is said, ‘All good things’… etc., etc’. And so they have. It was a GREAT ride while it lasted, thanks to good folks like yourself. Thanks for asking though. I wish we could have had better news for you.
singing songs around a campfire is always a great way to spend an evening! Good songs and good company it doesn't get any better than this!

Thanks guys for keeping Dixie alive from the heart of Dixie Alabama Birmingham
These are probably the 2 best songs by the south during the war of northern aggression.
Hello to my great Southern Brothers. God bless you all from Ontario Canada.
The time has come. Fight for texas!

I wish i can go to one of those events and see and hear ya guys but im up north and i cant sadly i love your music
Que belo momento. Muito bonita essa manifestação que comemora suas culturas e tradições. Muito frio por aí? Saudações desde Brasil.
I can imagine how a rebel camp would have been just like this back in the early 1860's.
thank you for playing these great songs
A Dixie yell and a pile of brass at my feet
Magnificent setting! Love the rebel yell. Best to you guys
Love songs about Dixie !! ❤ Like “I’se a’gwine back to Dixie” too but I think it’s after the civil war
Agreed!

Trump will bring back Dixie. He already said he will rename Fort Liberaty back to Fort Bragg (the confederate general).
Unfortunately soon we will be singing, Look away, Look away, Look away United land. Get ready yall.
Do yall still perform?

@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBandThat really is a shame, can we buy your music anywhere?
@@tobim5574 Spotify, Amazon, itunes
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand I wish I could have attended one of your performances in person, sadly I didn't hear of you guys until recently.
I think the reason the south lost the war is because instead of coming up with battle tactics they were too busy writing bangers like these two songs!
Lol. True.
Lee stopped the fight. Because it was 5 yrs later and neither side backing off.
