And while you are down that way, well you know where to drop in:

Music played a role in many of the Civil War battles as both sides had bands that played tunes during and after their battles.  There were instances where the two sides would have dueling bands in the evenings with both sides joining in on Home, Sweet, Home:

That music could unite them at night after fighting all day over politics and ideology seems a rather sad irony doesn’t it?
