For enthusiasts of early banjo
Rohersville Band circa 1857
This was in our local paper this morning, the band is still active, though unfortunatly they changed their uniforms. Rohersville is about 5 miles east of Sharpsburg and maybe 4 miles west of Crampton's Gap on South Mountain. I wonder where these folks were 5 years later.

Don't you wish a method of recording was invented to coincide with photography?

A pre Civil War brass band would have been markedly different from a post war band. The German band influence during the Civil War seems, to me, to have been strong. I wonder if they were at high pitch.
