gcoover Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The really big surprise for me in working up the "Civil War Concertina" tune book (available via Amazon in a week or two) is the versatility and musicality of the lowly 20-button Anglo. One of the most popular tunes of the 1860's was "Weeping Sad and Lonely", also known as "When This Cruel War is Over" (1863). Attached is a sample arrangement from the upcoming book. Enjoy!

BlueJack Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am looking forward to buying a copy when it's available. I started a collection of civil war tunes but your book will make it really work for me. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoover Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 The chord for measure 21 should be a "C", not "E". Don't worry, major proofreading still to be done for all 60 tunes! Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNaYet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Very cool. I have a fiddle book with a very large number of Civil War tunes that I play from, but they don't always translate well. I will buy your book and give it a try. I have spent some time sitting under a tree at the Manassas Battlefield playing Civil War tunes on the tina. Hope I pick up a few more from your book.
