KEEMO KIMO

[@MatthewChenault]

19th century lyricists coming up with absolute nonsense were geniuses in their own right.

[@toastedjeeper2489]

Joe if you read this I saw your interview on emerging civil war just recently and it was nice to hear about the band after so long. I have very fond memories of you all in Gettysburg. My father used to portray General Pickett and I remember you two having a few beers at O'Rourke's in maybe '06 or '07. I cant remember exactly. He passed away in 2016 but the bands music and my times in Gettysburg I will cherish forever. Thank you all

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

Yes ! I remember your dad, and I remember meeting him at O'Rouke's. Not so clear about the year, but I bet you're in the ballpark. I'm sorry to hear he's passed. If I recall correctly, he was having health issues back when I met with him. We corresponded more than a few times on Facebook and email. I liked him. May he rest in peace.

[@toastedjeeper2489]

@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Very fond memories for sure. And like you said the music is timeless. I'm glad our paths crossed that's for sure. He had a heart attack so at least not a slow decline, so I'm at least grateful for that. I'm glad to see you're still beating the drum and I always look forward to your uploads. Keep on truckin and many blessings to you and the family!

It's 23pm o'clock. I'm going to bed with your music in my heart. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️💕🇮🇹🌈🇺🇲💕❤️❤️❤️

Always a great day when 2nd South Carolina String Band uploads. This was great in 2 ways, not only musically but also a peak into our own history. You can really see the technological advancements we've seen in 20 years. Thanks for your work at preserving our heritage!

Greatest Civil War Band EVER!

[@sunnydaycavalry3764]

Just realized this song is really similar to Old 1812, I had wondered if anyone had ever put lyrics to it, I never imagined nonsensical lyrics like these however.

[@josemartinezbuendia363]

I hope I could visit USA one day and see you on live. Amazing tunes! You really playnice music, thank you from Spain! PD: I love old recording like this

Great song i Can see jeb Stuart Robert e Lee and traveler, long street, and stonewall Jackson, singing this around the camp fire, thanks from tom 🤟 🤟 🤟 🤟 🤟, you Are the Best

Tragic that you had to remove the first stanza

[@niller88]

Hahaha, a tragedy indeed. All that's missing is Lovecraft's cat and some lesser-thans to make up the trifecta.

[@annecornell7829]

We love your history and cultural insights to these historical songs. It’s not just a song, it’s history. The past may not be now, but it was. And people lived it. The highs and lows of war were real just as my day is to me today. You bring those times to life, if but just in these songs sung by many in the past. Long live the Bonnie Blue!

[@AndieArbeit]

I can't stop singing it inside my head since yesterday hahaha

When people complain about how rap makes no sense I play them this song

[@NORTH_CAROLINA_REAPER]

To be fair, this song is silly *on purpose*

[@joelwatson4083]

I think this song was sung by the mule-mounted mail carrier in the Movie Sergeant York.

[@francissanfellipo329]

[@hrovardran4755]

Is this from the Lightning in a Bottle recording? If you have video of it it would be great if we could see the entire concert, if possible.

Sorry the other two versions on your channel have quite a bit more racist lyrics. Since it's a historical song.
