As many of you know MY NOVELS are set in Civil War and post-Civil War America. I thought it would be fun each week to focus on a different year of music from 1860-1900. Maybe my characters were listening to these songs back in the day. ENJOY.

From the silly to the sublime – and not much different today.

That’s what’s so fun to see–humans have always been so silly and sublime. 🙂

I was blocked from the 2nd ones, the stupids. This is 1867? The first one seems so “modern,” that I thought it was from my parents’ era.

Ever since reading an essay on aural history I’ve been so intrigued by the sounds our ancestors heard and didn’t hear.

Alas the second one is blocked Luanne pointed out but the first one I’d even heard of…I suppose some songs last a long time. Great idea to share music from the era of your novels…it gives a wonderful feel to the time and creates a new dimension of experience.

Thanks for reminding me! I just changed the second link. 🙂 Researching music is definitely a pleasant way to spend one’s time.
My husband isn’t much moved by music which I find impossible to understand. All music affects me deeply–even if it’s horrible.
