You would think that at what is "supposed" to be an "authentic" reenactment of a Civil War battle the musicians would play the period correct version of Hell on the Wabash, and not the modern jazzed up version. If there was ever a time for them to play it the RIGHT way - it was at the 150th Reenactment of the Battle of Manassas. Unfortunately, a lot of these young kids have learned this tune at jam sessions, and they don't know that they are playing it the wrong way.
I have them doing Minstrel Boy and Gary Owen I hope to post them. I was right there. They were all gathered performing behind us. Hot but what a great battle. The confusion was frustrating but accurate.
thanks for posting, my son is in the very back right..blond hair..light blue hat! they were awesome!! we all had a great time at the reenactment, hot..but, great time!!
@Toccoa101506 Ah, that would explain why I didn't remember it, I wandered over to sutler's row shortly after the battle started, sad I missed this though.
