“RAISE A RUCKUS”- 97th Regimental String Band Vol. V

Description

“RAISE A RUCKUS” 97th Regimental String Band Volume 5, copyright 1991, 45 minutes A nation weary of war turned to the new, uniquely American form of entertainment, the minstrel show, to find escape. Crude jokes, slapstick, comic plays would evolve into and eventually be replaced by Vaudeville. From the first performance to the last obscure minstrel, music was the glue that held everything together. Follow the music of the Civil War from the dank prison cell to the trenches of Vicksburg: from the blood-washed deck of the “Cumberland” to the final, exultant peace jubilee.
