This song, from Briggs Banjo Instructor, was a popular air in the 1850's and 1860's. I play it dressed as a Confederate infantryman in honor of my great-great grandfather, Peter J. Anderton, and Charles H. Mattison, a Confederate soldier who took banjo lessons from the great Frank Converse before the war, and wrote of playing music while in military service.

Re: Lilly Dale, a popular air.
Very nice, Carl. I feel your great great G. would be well pleased, and a great tip of the hat to Soldier Mattison as well.

Re: Lilly Dale, a popular air.
Thank you, Patrick. I will definitely see about arranging a pass of some sort for "ITPW."Originally posted by Tarheel View Post
I'm sorry I didn't attend BGR with you and all the Lazy Jacks. I felt bad letting down all my Ground Hornet buddies. Unfortunately, those longer events, requiring almost a week of personal vacation, place an enormous strain on my "domestic tranquility."Last edited by Old Cremona; 02-09-2008, 03:57 AM.[FONT="Book Antiqua"]Carl Anderton[/FONT]
