I find myself analyzing this song. Its interesting because I had never noticed the contrast between both sides playing their instruments. The Mexican army plays with a powerful contending bravado, whilst the American Davy Crocket comes in with a quiet and almost sad pitch, i believe this is a symbolic representation of the situation both armies are in. The Mexican army plays loud at the start because they are a larger, force but the American plays quiet and almost sad representing the fate that they will end up inevitably succumbing to. However Davey Crocket begins to slowly match the pace of the Mexican army, and at the end matches their exact pace which shows that the battle will be really tough for the Mexican army because the Americans wont be going down without a fight, Davey Crocket, even with one violin compared to the rivals entire band, he was able to put up such an equal and astounding performance, representing the skills of the Americans both physically and metaphorically.

[@dennismood7476]

The funny thing about this scene was that everyone inside the Alamo thought Crockett prevented the daily bombing by playing the fiddle. Little did they realize that this was a strategic move by Santa Anna. He bombed them EVERY night to keep them to deprive them of sleep. The evening before the attack, he stopped the shelling so the defenders would fall asleep and the army could "sneak in .

[@JPOGame]

So this actually happened?

[@JPOGame]

Also, wouldn't that make them sleep deprived as well?

[@dennismood7476]

@@JPOGame As best I have read about the Alamo siege, yes, it happened. Santa Anna had his cannon bombard the Alamo during the night to deprive the defenders of sleep. On the night of the 13th day, he ordered his cannons to be silent knowing the fatigue from within would allow the settlers to fall asleep making the advance incident free. One of the soldiers who was lying in wait for the attack command got impatient and yelled "viva Santa Anna" causing the army to loudly advance awakening those inside.

[@fbi7787]

No he moved his cannons closer everynight

[@g-mancollections5264]

@@JPOGame that's actually a very viable tactic. You don't need a majority of your men to shell a stationary target. A few crews every night for a few days. Rotate them out so your larger force can get some rest. I used to do that during training rotations at jrtc in Fort Polk for the units that trained there. We would go take a few pop shots at a platoon every night and retreat. That little bit of ruckus causes a bunch of guys to lose sleep, go out on recon and security patrols. Meanwhile, the rest of our guys were resting and getting plenty of sleep. After a few days, they were so sleep deprived that we could slip in unnoticed a lot of times and "kill" them in their sleep. No matter how badass you are or well prepared you are, the sleep monster will always eventually win. Never knew that little tidbit about the Alamo, but it makes perfect strategic sense

Every time I drive downtown, it's hard to imagine what transpired during the siege. The present day location of the River is not more than 100 yards away and is some 30 feet below the ground where the Alamo is. If you pay attention walking on the sidewalk in San Antonio there are brass.markers which tell where the old wall was. You can get a sense of how it used to be and furthermore, what it was like to have 5,000 Mexicans charging in such a small place.

It was a sign of mutual respect. People like Crockett and that gentleman are merely pawns in the greater scheme of larger aspirations such as the birth of Texas (for Sam Houston)/conquering of “old territory” (for Santa Ana). Adversaries can still have respect for each other. I’m sure that if those two met in a different situation they could possibly be friendly to each other. Hell, they may have even known some of the same people. Nothing to do with amazement or superiority over another man and everything to do with showing that everyone is human regardless of background. Everyone is capable of showing respect where it’s due; and, back then, more often than not, respect was given regardless of whomever you were speaking to (unlike today). Even in the worst of times, humanity/respect/empathy still trumps violence and political ambition even though it’s sometimes hard to see. If anything, it showed that no matter how dark things were getting the Texans (and others) at the Alamo were ready to die for their beliefs and the Mexicans respected that.

Everyone needs to visit The Alamo..old Kentucky boy here was stationed at Lackland AFB (USAF) then later at Ft. Sam and Ft Bliss (USAR)..
