[@massimouguzzoni8631]

It's 7 AM o'clock, end its raining, but it's a bright morning with your song. Thank you gentlemen. God bless America! ❤️❤️❤️💕🇮🇹🌈🇺🇲💕❤️❤️❤️

[@MajorYankee]

I casually listen to these songs on a regular basis

[@LostBeagle]

Who cares what people think? This is history. They can ignore it, lable it or delete it from textbooks, but it ain't going away

[@trentroth6717]

It's always so much fun to listen to you guys perform!

[@Anaris10]

I have a stray cat showing up 2 or 3 times a week for about 5 years now. She's left us 3 kittens, 1 at a time over this time period, she's our Nelly Gray.

[@BAM-jc7uy]

thank you so much for your performance(s). Your band will probably be the last live vids of this century documenting and playing this particular era of usa historical songs/events...hang in there as we are entering perilous times in this republic's changes. Your farewell is noted and appreciated for WBH.....even so, Come Lord Jesus. amen

[@tjejejejej]

R.I.P Wiley. God bless his soul. Great song and rendition too.

[@thethe2645]

Very tragic to hear about Bryant's passing, may he rest peacefully. I looked up his band, and their music has all of the aspects of your band's performances that make me enjoy it over others. Needless to say I think I will be adding some more videos to my music playlist!

Greetings from Czech republic 🇨🇿 and many thanks. You Are Amazing

[@josemattos7157]

Estimados senhores, eu não entendo inglês. Mas admiro a cultura de vocês. Esta melodia transmite muita profundidade e sentimento. Faz bem aos meus ouvidos. Gosto dessas canções. Muita cara alegre para vocês. Um abraço desde o sul do Brasil.

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

Muito obrigado !

[@1089maul]

Gents, Yet another lovely and emotive song! Thank you for sharing. Sympathies for your recent loss. Regards, Bob

It's so easy to label Civil-war ear, Confederate bands and even Union Bands as "racist" or "hateful" when in reality that is just not the truth. The Civil war had some great music that makes any patriot (to the C.S.A. Or the U.S.A.) smile and think about those who fought and died, even if what they believed was wrong, they died protecting their ideals. It's hard to think of much more American then that.

[@michaelclark2458]

The populace is easily triggered and ignorant of history now. I bet you could write a piece on how pro slavery and white supremacist this song is and they’d believe it without even listening to it or reading lyrics. They have been conditioned to hate their heritage and ancestors so much. It’s sad.

[@MJF1958]

​@@michaelclark2458 so sadly true.

[@nomadpi1]

The music reflects the emotions of humanity. It makes no difference which side of the war soldiers served, their hearts were human, and tears or joy, anger or rue sing to us now and we understand it. They were our brethren.

[@0ak3nshi3ld88]

How is it easy to label it "racist"? Ignorant comment.

[@michaelclark2458]

@@0ak3nshi3ld88 not ignorant at all. There is language that is culturally offensive in music like this. If you sing songs like the original oh Susanna or Keemo Kimo you run the risk of being called a lot of names. I don’t agree with culture. I’m saying that it’s easy for the culture to just go right to the racist card rather than understand it’s deeper than just saying a word like digger or dark - key.

[@therabman_5606]

Love hearing these confederate songs, they sound very similar to our folk music here in Northern Ireland, you can definitely hear they kept in touch with their roots in this music.

[@Dan-qd5gh]

From Canada 🇨🇦 I share Southern morals, values, and commraderie.

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

Glad to hear it. From what I've been hearing about what's going on up there, you're going to need them... Just sayin'.

@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Trudeau is a big problem and alot of people are sick of him im pretty sure he will be voted out. As for the woke garbage I dont put up with it just like in the US. Trudeau is Liberal like your Democrats. May God bless each and everyone of you your all an inspiration to a better time.

[@TacitusMS1]

I certainly enjoy visiting Canada. I was on cruise in New Brunswick and the band played some authentic Southern music. I told them as a Southerners I approved. We enjoyed discussing the history of "Cajuns"

[@trailerswingers8225]

Well done boys! Miss you guys!

[@SilverOwls]

Beautiful! Thank you for keeping history alive.

[@restal7517]

Though I'm not American, I've always really enjoyed American Civil War-era tunes, and it's always this band which records the best performances! Great stuff, much love from Canada.

[@Kingofovertimea]

I always love this bands songs it was actually via them how I peaked my interest so much about the Civil War and the music that was written around that time hurrah hurrah for 2nd South Carolina hurrah

[@nomadpi1]

Fabulous band. They're superb. DIXIE has never been performed better than their rendition.

Hey Tom. Thanks.

[@christopherk140]

I’m on the Eastern Shore of Virginia … one of these days I’d consider an overnight trip to see one of your shows……. You should publish a schedule of appearances.

[@DerSchleier]

They are retired.

[@theromanbaron]

Even though this music was later on, past 1836… I will be going to the Goliad re-enactment on March 25th in Texas to honor my 5th great grandpa who died there. It’s always great to listen to your music when I road trip there

[@BBHC2]

Very moving rendition. Condolences for loss of Mr. Henderson.

[@wheresmyeyebrow1608]

Also love how there's constantly guns and cannons going off in the background haha

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

Yeah... Seemed like they almost always booked us a slot during the carnage.

[@0ak3nshi3ld88]

Sorry you guys are not playing any more great music would have loved to listen to you if you ever came to UK

[@gray3553]

Superb, well done gentleman.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Hi, Lads! Good to see another post but saddened to her about Bryant but such is the way for us all. The main thing is to be ready before the inevitable happens. Meanwhile, hope all are well and able to scratch out a tune or two and rally around the campfire once again. May the Lord richly bless yall and it'll warm up a bit before too long! God Bless Yall. From (Us'ns) here slightly across the line

[@wheresmyeyebrow1608]

Excellent!

[@gerryrepash6706]

Bob Wills used "Nelly Gray" for "Faded Love' which is still a favorite esp. in Texas and Oklahoma.

[@trailerswingers8225]

Thank you me and my girls love spendin time together whilst listening to these songs, only you guys can sing em the way they're meant to be sang. God bless all of you

I like your music very much. Can I forward some to my Chinese netizens? There are also many people who like the music of this period. It was you who made me fall in love with the music of this period, thank you to 2nd South Carolina String Band (sorry my English is not very good) - friends from China❤❤

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

Forward away ! Thanks very much for the kind words. By the way, your English is better than many Americans. Just sayin'.

[@jonreedau81]

Fantastic job with this song- thanks so much for sharing it with us. I would love to hear you do "Billy Barlow"- I know it is a Union song but it is a great song and I know you would sound great doing it.

[@technoturnip1]

Damn shame your all no longer together as a band. Only just come across you.

[@jordantsmith]

Does anyone know anything about the banjo used in their songs? I want to find a banjo that can be used to play these songs but there isn't a lot of info readily available. I've found Carver Banjos but not sure if I should be looking at the Americana or the Minstrel banjo.

[@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand]

So, apparently you are planning on building your own. After a look at what he's offering, my choice would be the Minstrel. That said, do you already play banjo ? The minstrel kit is fretless. The 'Americana' appears to have frets, but they may be inlays (i.e., flush with the surface of the neck, but a different color wood). If you don't already know how to play the banjo, learning to play on a fretless could mean a much steeper learning curve. Both banjos are 'period' (if the Americana is truly an 1857 copy - I assume it is). I listened to both videos and my take was the minstrel had a better sound (there's LOTS more videos of the minstrel - so there's that -- obviously more folks chose that model). But then, each banjo was assembled by a different person... Just sayin'. Was me, I'd go 'MInstrel'. Opt for the beehive, if you do... I would. Anyway, I wish you best of luck. They are a lot of fun.

[@Daniel-hp3tk]

Such a moving song. Makes me thankful for all the men who gave their life to put an end to the inhumane institution that is slavery in this great country of ours.

Yall should train a new generation to take yalls place. 🇺🇸🤠❌🙏👍🏻

[@jameslynch7826]

Well I am British and I like them- as an ex cavalry soldier l think General Lee was a fine old soldier. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Southern values and culture. It’s nice old music almost Irish

[@FishnWithWilly]

yep and Scottish thats where most of the people who settled the south came from
