Supposedly very “authentic” civil war era music…but I highly doubt anyone was picking banjo like that back then…

haha what kind of music is this? sounds simple yet catchy.
sounds a bit like the dubliners or some.
cant stop tapping my foot to there song “zip coon”. 
This is 19th Century Minstrel music. Its great stuff. It does have what today would be some racially insensitive references. It was a part of the music of the time.
This Battle Cry is def influenced by modern banjo but great none the less.
WHAR’S ME MUSKET?!?!
Love it.

These crazy Montana people have their heads so deep in the woods that they don’t even know what a yankee is
