LORENA - Ladies & Love Songs of the Civil War-Tom Roush

I'm playing my own arrangement of one of the most popular love songs during the American Civil War. The presentation includes photos of ladies from the years 1860-1865. Due to the song's length, I chose not to include two of the original six verses.THIS SONG IS NOW AVAILABLE AT iTunes - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lorena/id450240394?i=450240442&ign-mpt=u...

This song is referred to in the novel "Gone With the Wind," including quoting the first three lines of the song. So I YouTubed it and got this gorgeous rendition. What an amazing resource You Tube is. I am 49 and always tell my 14 and 11 yr old daughters what an incredible resource tool the Internet is, and how difficult it was to find this kind of material when I was a kid. They just look at me with glazed over eyes, like old grandpa Whomever telling a war story for the 1000th time! lol

@psych3man Thanks for the compliment! The internet has opened many doors for people as you and myself. The problem with most kids getting on the internet is that there are a lot of bad doors for them to enter.

I would like to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who has commented on my work. Your comments are heartwarming and inspiring to say the least. Even negative comments show that someone is listening! Tom

@meceu2 Me too :) I've always wondered what this song sounded like when reading Gone With The Wind.

This is so cool! Thanks for uploading! I love this song, and adding the photos was a brilliant idea. It really helps to bring the past to life.

Never read the novel but love the movie. Before the internet I dont think we would have all been able to share this beautiful music.
