Night Train Dixieland

Summary: This song is a night train journey today to Crooked Road Mountain Festival to Bristol, TN, of a family, father, mother with children, starting somewhere in Pennsylvania, crossing the Susquehanna River, then across the Potomac, going through Fredericksburg, Petersburg & Richmond.

The journey sings a symbolic story, Virginia 1864-65 Civil War campaign. A determined forces of General Ulysses S. Grant moving across heartland of Virginia. Confederate Forces of Robert E. Lee striking back on every step forward, brother against brother. A new birth of freedom waiting in the wings for American nation at the end of this trial by fire at a terrible cost of life & destruction. Night Train Dixieland

It's not the "Civil War" but properly called the War of Northern Aggression.

Broad is pretty hot, even though shes got big feet.

I came from an intellectual family. Most were doctors, preachers, teachers, businessmen. My grandfather was a small businessman. His father was an abolitionist doctor, and his father was an immigrant from Germany.

This is a talented "Clawhammer Banjo" Player and teacher. But what is needed to get this to this to appreciation mode is someone who can sing Civil War Songs & other heritage folk songs at "Open Mikes" like we have been having here in Fairfax via the "Singers & Songwriters" meetup.com and also the Music Workshop meetup.
