Hard Times Come Again No More



Further to an earlier post regarding Songs of the American Civil War and Stephen Foster - I listen occasionally to this version by Canadian musician Robert Benoit. For two reasons. 1/ You can play a Lambeg Drumming Rhythm to it. 2/ The photographs are terrific.

At the end of the video there is a quote by William Tecumseh Sherman - A senior Officer in the Union Army - War is Hell! - well he created hell, as he marched his Union army through Georgia, destroying everything in its wake - ruthless, ruthless man!
