RE: Lincoln and Songs
That was fast Gene! According to Ward Hill Lamon and Noah Brooks, 'Twenty Years Ago' was a song that touched Lincoln's heart and moved him to tears. He knew the words by heart. After listening to it on the site you found http://balladofamerica.bandcamp.com/trac...-years-ago, I can imagine Lincoln being moved by it.

Cigar box instruments were popular in the civil war. Your prize is an e-trip to the Cigar Box Guitar Museum http://www.bellyjellymusic.com/cigar-box...useum.html and a cigar box. There are many free plans on the web for making your own instrument.
