I am such a fan of the music from that period though. While watching "The Civil War" series by Ken Burns, it is the music he included in the documentary that really made me feel connected to the people and the events in the film. There is such power in music. It has the ability to make us feel and influence us.<br />Great post, Paisley.Sarah J.

I can imagine how soothing the music was to boys away from home. There is a story where during WWI the troops sang, played ball and exchanged tokens for several hours.

It sure is so nice not to be in pain like I was before the surgery. :) <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed a touch of musical history.
