[@pytko3]

Dixie is a highley addictive tune. Once you hear it, it is hard to get out of your head.

[@Prodigysportsman]

These Were both amazing, 10 times better than any other example of the songs when you try to find them on youtube. THis guy is awesome

[@Forggeter]

Gives me goosebumps. 5 out of 5 rating. Also, each song has different lyrics.

[@jagai]

[@Navyma18]

Deo Vindice and God Bless you from Dixie! For Virginia!

[@allister1964]

Great to see these old historic songs from the civil war brought to life in the present day! If I ever make it to the usa from northern ireland, I am definitely planning to visit all the sites.

[@ironsabbath72]

i see charlie zahm every year in scotland conneticut great guy ever been on a cruise with him?

[@markay1]

Charlie recorded Dixie on his Americana album. He is making a live DVD / CD on February 13th but that won't be available for months and Rebel Soldier may not be included; it's not one of his more popular songs up North! Dixie always gets a great reception at Zahm shows. His wonderful version is on the 2002 "Americana" album; it's paired with a different song called "Sweet Sunny South" there.

[@KingBouloo]

I love Dixie's version ! Amazing job !

[@CoWolArc]

Normally I'm not a fan of the original lyrics, but that was damn beautiful... Rivals the "Everybody's Dixie" lyrics... By the way, I re-enact both sides. Any Washington State reenactors, give me a shout.

[@makokun9]

By the way, the concert a success. Japanese liked the song. In fact, they didn't care a bit about the fact that the song used to be one of the unofficial anthems of the Confederate States of America. Only an American teacher had some issues at the beginning, but ended up liking the rendition after all. Again, thanks a lot. ^^

[@DESheffield2nd]

i think of my great great great grand farther Corporal George Washington Clary of the 73rd Virginia. i know i don't know him personally but my family always talks about him. he was also a survivor of a yankee prison camp in Point Lookout Maryland. hell i even have his musket he used.

[@ray8up]

Wow you are good! Thanks for the knowledge as well

[@markay1]

There's only certain gigs where Charlie wants the video camera and so far he hasn't done Highlands at any of them! I'll keep it in mind and request it soon ; -)

[@VultureBoy]

that was amazing

[@markay1]

I would suggest downloading the video from here using one of the easy (and free for first 20 days) programs like KZbin Download Studio

[@Rikki0]

This reply may be irrelevant now bond because of the amount of time, but name of the tune is " Dixie ".

[@TheConfederateBoy]

great

[@todddoom]

A guy in New Jersey singing Confederate songs! With a great voice! I really enjoyed but I am not interested in hearing Yankee Doodle. I can get ya a gray or butternut uniform.

[@Ancupola]

One can hear the Irish influence. The singer has a superb voice what is his name?

[@strolch1977]

NIce

[@chief1223]

They don't want a video that doesn't start with an ad to end up 'liked' to the front page :p

[@makokun9]

The costume is awsome! Where did you get it? Actually I was thinking about singing this song in Japan, at Ehime University, next week. Some people told me to think about it, that many American teachers working from northern states working here may not like the idea... but you just gave me the resolve I needed. Thank you so very much! ^^

[@SEETER1]

nice sing man! i like it

[@markmason1000]

little fun fact you know Presidents favorite song was Dixie,One point later in the war he was on a steamer in the Potomac river with a guest from Germany and Lincoln asked him if he had ever heard Dixie the man shook his head so Lincoln replied "the tunes federal property now so I see no reason why the people cant enjoy it again",and then ordered the band to play the song

[@lone545]

good song

[@pytko3]

Dixie is a highly infectious tune, about as much as "Stars and Stripes Fovever".

[@markmason1000]

I always respected the rebel soldiers and Generals,I cant say I think they were in the right but I do have respect for them because they gave everything for what they believed to be right

[@markay1]

CZ has his costumes made for him by a reinacting specalist... it's design is based on the uniform of a Zahm relative ...

[@DESheffield2nd]

Blue Grass is basicaly Celtic Music. if u play Blue Grass in Irland they will sometimes mistake it for their own. also Country was influnced by Celtic music and other influences.

[@mikiroony]

I liked his style, specially singing southern tunes with a Union uniform ;). Reminded me of Sgt. Chesterfield, of the French comic 'Les Tuniques bleues'

[@markay1]

Well, he's from Florida but living in Pennsylvania. Florida is definitely Southern ; -)

[@markay1]

This is called the "folk process" used a lot by writers like Woody Guthrie who take traditional tunes (or bits and pieces of them) and add their own words...

[@brainerdrebel]

Were I was born one frosted morning, Dixie, Lookout Mountain Tennessee. How could this song ever be politically incorrect? If it is I don't want to live in the Union.

[@galactoburec]

woohoo

[@DESheffield2nd]

then u r going to want to visit Virginia for all the civil war battle site.

[@pothead26]

is this at a school?

[@ruthlesace]

all i can say is he talks alot before playing such great music
