John Brown's Body

Lew Dite with his baritone ukulele and some foot stomping.
An American Civil War song.
A song my father taught me to love.

Greetings to you in Argentina from Canada. I was in your beautiful country in November 2006. My cousin (born and raised in BA) lives in Buenos Aires. I also visted Tilcara. (north of Jujuy) Beautiful... love the charango.

I remember listening to a folk song duo (I think husband and wife) from Canada, when I was a kid growing up in Minnesota. I am so sorry I forgot the name... I loved that LP so much I wasted it!

That would have been Ian & Sylvia. They divorced a long time ago and both persued solo careers. Yes... they were great. I am sure you could look them up on youtube...|

As far as people here saying John Brown was "a sick man", that he shouldn't be "glorified", that "all was not well in Brown's head" because of The Pottawatomie Massacre - that's just madness. At Pottawatomie James Doyle's 16 year old son was spared execution because he never participated in enslaving. When they got to James Harris's home they did not kill Wightman and Glanville because they weren't slavers. He played Pottawatomie by the book. John Brown was a hero and his soul goes marching on.
