Songs
and Music of the Civil War
For anyone interested in music and the Civil War
there are a whole collection of tapes and CD's available, if one
knows where to look. Many of the tapes are only available from the
US but if one goes to the Lower Oxford street branch of HMV, lower
ground floor, easy listening department one will find an abundance
of CD's etc. If they have not got what you want then the sales assistant
is usually very helpful and he/she will be able to order for you.
The follow titles are just a few of the CD's that are available.
This list is by no means comprehensive.
