+bigoldinosaur Did and well worth it too

Rick Kolocheski Sweet.

Did you ever see him?

Nope, never had the opportunity.

Well there goes that dream.

He is covering songs from the 18th century.

+Joshua Hughes actually the 1900s =1800

You can thank soldiers for the songs. He just re did their songs.

It's not up to God, it's up to Us. They realized that back home. We have not.

David Kincaid is an American musician who's one of the leaders of the band The Brandos. He released an album of Irish-Civil War songs called The Irish Volunteer. The title song of the album is what he plays in the video. You can find out more about the album here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irish_Volunteer. He only plays the songs with traditional instruments that would have been played during that era. He really does great things with the songs.

macster11 David is from Seattle Wa and I think grew up on Whidby Island, Wa . In his early years he played with local bands such as the Allies here in Seattle in the early 80's. In the late 80's he decided to move to New York to pursue other things He is and always will be brilliant. I had the pleasure of knowing him well in the year of 1980/81. Will never forget those memories. He is indeed a musical genious!

@@loslingos1232 don't know

@@miguel-nm7wx Oh okay.

@@loslingos1232 jeez he isn't _that_ old

Thanks for clarifying. The comment I responded to was assuming it was an "Irish" instrument.

+Frank Carmack Adopted and physically adapted by flattening the round bottom

@@robertblankinship170 thx

Thanks

Bouzouki I believe

Irish bouzouki. A Greek bouzouki adapted for Irish music by flattening the back of the traditionally rounded bouzouki.

@Stonewall same now *happy mixed noises*

Irish adapted Bazooki

Jim Baily This song came before Bonnie Blue Flag.

Gordon Adams the melody perhaps, but the bonnie blue flag was written in the spring of 1861, while this song mentions manassas(July 1861). That said, I'd just love to hear him play The Bonnie Blue

Jim Baily actually both songs use the same melody, "The Irish Jaunting Car".

Jim Baily If you watch "civil war minutes union" the opening song is David singing Southern Soldier.

You can hear and see him just playing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" joined to 2nd South Carolina String Band in the movie "Gods and Generals", of course wearing Confederate uniform. Watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7yVhq6ospORYYE.html , Kincaid is the banjo player
