The song´s title is "Cindy, Cindy". I like this version of the song. But check out the Duo "Madison Violet". 2 girls from Nova Scotia. I have seen Lisa + Brenley 5 times in concert here in Germany. And they are still gorgeous. They sing this song also (Here on UTube)
@joncobber Cindy, Cindy. I think that is the spelling. I wish there were more on here form this group. May Captain Millar will put more on (or someone else for that matter).
yea i agree about the guitar bein a little later era but u boys are representin the south and the music that was carried across the battle feild yall doin a fine job but just tween us find some good old fiddle and banjo songs those are flat ass beautiful no doubt about that
Sorry we can't win any authentic Civil War soldier look alike contest. We're just 5 guys keeping alive the folk music of the 19th century to the best of our ability. We've entertained thousands of people and sold as many CDs since 1990. We perform 25-30 times per year from Iowa to Florida, Virginia to Louisiana. We have families and jobs and only perform part time on weekends. If you think you can do any better, form a band and do it.

Keep on playing, you doing a good job, as long as those "jungsters" who know every thing about the Civil War and music around that time do something better.
And still, as long as you make people happy, you included, you should keep on dongin this and ignore the ignorant.
We play for reactment people, not real peopel from those times. There is no one left to tell (we play from aroun year 1000)...

HA Ha, Heeb! I always get a chuckle seeing the age and paunch on these reeactors! Hillarious observation! HA HA. And, the guitar was virtually unheard of until after the Spanish-American War. Get that dime-a-dozen guitar player out of there and get a fiddle and banjo like it's supposed to be done!
Spoken like a true gal-troop dating mainstreamer. Perhaps there were all ages and sizes in '61, but I'm positive the fellows lost some weight a bit later. Unlike the original soldier, reenactors age twenty plus years in the hobby and a good many of them get thick around the middle from all the cooler packed Mountain Dew and Busch Light and the Doritos and Food Lion potted meat zipped up in that latex coated haversack...or at least from a bad diet and little exercise at home.
I believe according to Alan Lomax (a "dean" of American folk musicology) that "Cindy" may have been a song of the middle and southern Applachians in the middle 1800's. I don't know how widely throughout the rest of the country it might have been known during the Civil War.
We'll all miss you around the campfire Greg. Rest in Peace my friend.

That's odd, I always though the American Civil War soldier was much younger...and thinner. This bastardization of history is embarrassing.

That's ridiculous, many people of all kinds of ages and sizes fought, you have no idea what you're talking about.
