Extraordinary performance. Dixie anthem is very close to my heart. As a civil war reenactor, I was participating at the Batle of Olustee reenactment last February 17-19, and during Colors, the band played Dixie. What an honor to experience such performance on that hollow place.
JFisher928: My Grandfather was from Pineville/Alexandria, LA. Having been raised by a Southern Gentleman, then marrying one, and having lived in the South twice; I can say that I am American by birth and a Southerner by choice!. The pain of war and lost is still evident and felt in Confederate cemetaries and battlefields such as Shilo and Chickamauga. They are hollowed places. Dixie is a heartfelt melody of 'what was' and 'still is' of the Grand Ol' South in the hearts of Southerners.
Well I am sitting here with tears on my cheeks. When I was a boy in North Carolina the local channels would sign off with Dixie. This is about as close to that as I have heard in almost 40 years. This Son of a Confederate Veteran thanks you for posting this.
Excellent!

Bravo! Very nicely done...Dixie's not often heard nowadays....but this song of the South always gives me goose-bumps.
