Another Song Added
I like the spirit of the song, “Rally Round the Flag,” written in 1862, during a time of low spirits for Union troops. The tune is upbeat, and the words show the determination of purpose that when the war was done, no man would remain a slave. In the end, countless lives were lost, but a new nation had been shaped.
The United States has a long history of fighting against tyranny. Isn’t that at the very core of our democracy? Every day, we all struggle to maintain the freedoms we have, and to reach a point where we are all living in peace, as individuals, as families, as communities, and in the greater world.
This song spoke to my heart, and like two other “war” songs that I recorded recently (”Mrs. McGrath,” and “Johnny, I Hardly Knew You,”), I play them because they are meaningful to me, and I hope, educational, for you.
