“I am so excited about this Civil War Era project. My own banjo heritage traces back to both of my grandfathers. Also, my great grandmother “Verdie” on my dad’s side played banjo and was born during the 1860’s Civil War period. I never had the opportunity to meet any of them, but I am proud to carry on the banjo legacy in our family”, says Mike Scott.
The songs on Home Sweet Home
could be heard during the 1860’s in America’s major cities, small
towns, rural areas and soldier encampments during the Civil War. The song “Ashokan Farewell”, written by Jay
Ungar, and heard throughout the Ken Burns Civil War TV series was
included in the collection due to its familiarity to this period in time
based on the TV series popularity. 150 years later, these 13 American musical treasures can be enjoyed again on this special collection. These songs should not be lost and forgotten, but passed down to future generations as a part of America’s musical heritage.

hope these tunes will touch you and give you a reminder of a period of
time captivated as part of our nation’s journey to unity and freedom. May it bring you joy, put a smile on your face and put some ‘giddy-up’ in your step”!
