[@chackora]

Your renditions of some of the old favorites are the very best I've heard (in 40 years), so I thought I should let you know! Congrats!! You seem to be specially gifted in singing the old time ballads and songs of loneliness (like Stephen C Foster's Old Folks at Home). I particularly liked your version of Stewball! God bless you ... keep singing and keep ballad lovers the world over entertained and awed!

LYRICS! Do they miss me at home, do they miss me? 'Twould be an assurance most dear, To know that this moment some loved one Were saying, "I wish he was here;" To feel that the group at the fireside Were thinking of me as I roam. Oh, yes, 'twould be joy beyond measure To know that they missed me at home, To know that they missed me at home. When twilight approaches, the season That ever is sacred to song, Does some one repeat my name over, And sigh that I tarry so long? All is there a chord in the music That's missed when my voice is away? And a chord in each heart that awaketh Regret at my wearisome stay, Regret at my wearisome stay? Do they sit me a chair near the table, When evening's home pleasures are nigh, When the candles are lit in the parlor, And the stars in the calm azure sky? And when the "good-nights" are repeated, And all lay them down to their sleep, Do they think of the absent, and waft me A whispered "good-night" while they weep, A whispered "good-night "while they weep? Do they miss me at home-do they miss me At morning, at noon, or at night? And lingers one gloomy shade round them That only my presence can light? Are joys less invitingly welcome, And pleasures less hale than before, Because one is missed from the circle, Because I am with them no more, Because I am with them no more?

nice

One question: the fact that this mansion was not burned down by the Union Troops simply because they enjoyed living there reminds me of Tara from "Gone with the Wind." Did Margaret Mitchell base her novel on this real-life event?

[@corncrackerkid5092]

Eduardo Brandwaiman I do know this is late but it possibly survived due to Grant or the Union Troop’s good will much like a lot of the older mansions in Atlanta that they left alone or it could be near Aiken, which the Battle of Aiken had prevented from having the same fate as Columbia
