Seeing those chickens again reminds me of the one who constantly was trying to join us in the parlor. Im not sure which was louder, the squaks of the chicken trying to get in the tent, the yells of the ladies as they swiped at the chicken to keep her out, or finally prehaps the roars of laughter from the men watching battle from the sidelines?
Alas the chicken who invaded the tent one night was stew for the Lazy Jacks the next.

Preacher, you of all should know "The wages of sin is death."

I am reminded though of my Grandmother's rather dry assessment of her sister-in-law's housekeeping(a woman known to let the chickens wander freely into the house): I would not eat a boiled egg from her kitchen.

Well Charles, I don't like KISS, I don't have a sister -but I have been known to drink out of the milk jug once in a while when is no one is looking (actually a lime drink...I might be old enought to remember KISS, but I'm not yet in need of a remedy for osteoporosis).

And my deepest philosophical pondering earlier was trying to figure out a way to post some pics of BGR for my friends and any others who attended and might enjoy them. And as I am unfamiliar with all the inner working and "bells and whistles" of this server/web-site that was my bad ju-ju plan to fix the problem of posting the pictures. Either it worked as I am now Rank and File like I used to be, or you used your munificent powers to help me attain my former "rank", and if so, thank you.

As for the path to the Dark Side, I believe I tred about twenty miles on said path at BGR, and I was also at Franklin a couple of years ago with the 9th/15th Tx, so I'm not totally unfamilar with The Path, even though I don't get out back east as much as I would like to.

All that aside, here are the pics, all post-event as I did not carry a camera in the field (although I'm grateful for the ones I have seen).

[ATTACH]4667[/ATTACH] This is one of what I assume are the "Babes in the Woods..."

We do have some pretty interesting history out here, like you said Charles. Our home base is at Camp Floyd, Johnston's base and headquarters. There is a "witness" tree where we enjoy the shade like Colonel Johnston did (a lot more shade now than then tho:). A few other men who served at Camp Floyd and went on to prominence in the Civil War are Henry Heth (last named pronounced like yours Charles, I believe), John Buford, John Reynolds and John Robinson, who commanded 2nd Div under Robinson's 1st Corp at Gettysburg, and Buford was there as well, of course. That's enought though, time for another thread on that information if I get time.

This was a double-post (not intentional:D)

Same here, just figuring out the editing feature.

Oh, pshaw, Miss Ginger! Actually one of the French lads got a really beautiful video of you singing at the Confederate officers & staff mess:

I only wish the sound were better so folks could hear your voice. You really brought a tear to many an eye that evening. It was just lovely.

Oh My, Miss Ginger....

That sneaked video, so captured a peri0d feel! Pursant to a private officer invitee list, the cordial feel is wonderful.

Regretfully, my First Sgt, (and Tater pard) had left me as 2nd Sgt to take care of the paperwork back at camp, in the meantime. TJ though so deserved the diversion.

Thank you for the opportunity, to see such a welcome display. We could hear fellow Tater Forrest's fiddlin', but not the majesty of the kindred.

Another of the infinite period moments for the common soldiers on a realistic campaign.

Best Regards

You are all so kind! :) I do so love to sing, and although I was thoroughly nonplussed when Silvana volunteered me, I am so very privileged for the opportunity. I do think that in these days of pre-recorded accompanied "perfection," we have lost the joy of making, and even the ability to appreciate, our own entertainment. I'm just glad that you fellows enjoyed it, whether at first or second hand, as much as I did.
