Description
Frome the Manfields Civil War reenactment. Thought of other titles like "If you do not like my playing I shoot you" hahaahah just haveing fun. "Oh Sue Annie"..do you cry for me; is a song very old one too. hope I spelled Annie right?
Of couse you see the gray outfit he have on so he from the south.
thought I take a break from the west trip richardphoto and me took. Got so many photos lol like dust storm and snow and rain. lol plus I got all these civil war images even some of they camp live too.
This was in the first area i stopped at to look at manfield battle grounds. I knew nothing of the reenactment. These people told me in 10 minutes a battle was going to be reeacted 15 miles down the road. i took off then. lol
if you get a change to go to one please do you will not be let down. Even if you do not believe in war it something to see.
On the Civil war was fought for state rights.

Nice capture. Have seen a couple re-enactments, they spend lots of effort to try to get things right.

Actually, it's "Susanna", not "Sue Annie". Even so, wonderful photograph, a great capture of a moment.

Wonderful capture and portraying, Jock. Makes me think of Davey Crockett and Yellow Rose of Texas.. That guy looks very focused on his banjo playing. I thought the song you talk about was called "Oh Susannah".. But my memory is like Swiss cheese... yellow and full of holes.+5

" Stephen Foster wrote the original lyrics in 1847. I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisiana, My true love for to see It rained all night The day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everything was still I thought I saw Susanna A-coming down the hill The buckwheat cake Was in her mouth The tear was In her eye Says I, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee "Oh Susannah" was set with new lyrics and became known as the "forty-niners" theme song. This version was sung by miners during the California Gold Rush. I came from Salem City with my washpan on my knee I'm going to California, the gold dust for to see. It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death, Oh, brothers don't you cry. Oh, Susannah, Oh, don't you cry for me I'm going to California with my washpan on my knee. I soon shall be in Frisco and there I'll look around. And when I see the gold lumps there, I'll pick them off the ground. I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys, I'll drain the rivers dry. A pocketful of rocks bring home, So, brothers don't you cry." The photo is excellent, my friend. We have a reinactment here as well and it runs all summer long for folks that ride the old trains into the redwood State Park. They also have exhibitions of all the old type of utensil making and fur tanning (which was really big here till the '60s when the bottom fell out of the animal fur market due to protests from animal right activists. I do know the excitement you feel for this type of activity and also recommend it as a great pastime.. keep up the great photo work and I await your next picture...gene

Nice shot of this innocent looking lad playing the part and the song, Jock!
moonrancher
Excellent portrait and wonderful song reference. I'm glad the lyrics are here, too. Great reenactment, too.

Oh darn! I was going to post the song, but genefleeman beat to the punch. Nice shot of the young'un playing the banjo. And, I believe in war. Without war there would be no beautiful bombers and fighters to photograph.

He does have a "Tom Sawyer" look to him, as MajikUnicorn suggests.
