Civil War Tunes Recorded June 25, 2006 by Carl Anderton playing gut-strung reproduction Civil War era banjo (made by George Wunderlich). These unrehearsed recordings were made during a reenactment of The Battle of Cole Camp, Missouri (1861). "We just found a shady spot and I started playing what ever popped into my head," reported Carl to members of the Minstrel Banjo forum.
